[Qt-interest] Why this double is not valid by QDoubleValidator

[Bob Hood]

What was entered was not valid scientific notation.  The "E" part is the
substitution for the "x 10" part of the scientific notation.  You need
the exponent value following the "E".  What was entered was equivalent
to "-0.0000888889 x 10", which lacks an exponent -- not valid scientific
notation.  There must be an exponential value following the "E".
