Hi there,

is it possible to switch the scientific notation to the normal one
when identifying a feature?

Right now, values like "4176000000" are displayed as "4.176e+06".
Seems like printf with %g is used?

Best regards,
Tobias

Yeah, I had the same issue with (pretty small) measurement values: moved
to scientific notation while I still wanted to have normal values...

Maybe you should create a Feature request (at issues.qgis.org) for this:
- never show values in scientific notations
- mixup like now
- always show scientific notations

in ??? attribute tables? Labels?

Shall I add it to "https://issues.qgis.org/issues/15880" or shall
I create a new one and link it to this issue?

I'd create a new one linking to old one, as I think it could be a pretty
big fix. It could be fixed everywhere where a attribute value is shown:
attr tables, tooltips, legend etc etc...

Btw, it also shows when using data-defined assistant (and hence in
legend)
Thanks for the hint.

"Easy fix? No" doesn't sound any good :(
I don't know; From memory, the "easy" tag became mandatory only with the
last server upgrade and issue report refactoring so my guess is that when
the tag was not yet filled, the default value applied was "No".
But again I could be wrong.

Agree to create a new issue, more global.

The case was closed and marked as a duplicate. I should better
have not mentioned the old issue :-((

Mention is not the culprit. Bug triagers are not far from there: they are
part of the community and also read the discussions, you know.
