Plots.jl: scientific format doesn't work from v0.12.3 (GR)

[y-nkt]

10^i along y axis is not properly formatted from Plots.jl v.0.12.3 (GR).

Please see the following code:

using Plots
gr()
plot(abs(rand(10)), yaxis=(:log10, (1e-3,1e3)))
savefig("gr.png")

v0.12.2:

v0.12.3:

Thank you for your development,

I'm very sorry that I missed the following:

"GR no longer automatically handles _ and ^ in texts"
https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Plots.jl/releases/tag/v0.12.3

Could you suggest how to automatically handle the scientific format >v0.12.3 ?

This is a bug created by that change. Thanks for reporting.

A hacky way would be to add "\\ " to the end of every tick so that it gets dispatched to GR.textext() instead of GR.text().

[mkborregaard]

not too hacky I think

I'll try it out and see how it behaves.
