Steps to reproduce

Scientific notation only works with uppercase E now. Lowercase used to work.
I could swear "1e9/20" would give me 50000000 until a few months ago, but now it offers to open a URL (https://1e9/20).

Steps To Reproduce

Alt-tab
Type "1e9/20" or "=1e9/20"

✔️ Expected Behavior

50000000

❌ Actual Behavior
