0.000123456 shows as '1.23E−40' instead of '1.23E−4'

Sorry if it's a very basic question, but it's my first time using great_tables.

I was trying to better format a very small number using:

from great_tables import vals

vals.fmt_scientific(0.000123456, n_sigfig=3, exp_style="E")
['1.23E−40']

But the exponent keeps showing an extra zero. Does someone can point me to the correct way of doing this?

Thank you.

I'm sorry @marceloandrioni , this is actually a (very bad) bug that seems to occur when using exp_style=. I'll make this an issue and fix soon. Thanks for reporting this!
