Bug summary

I am using plot_surface but ran into the issue that when scientific notation is needed, the axis multiplier is offset to the point that it no longer appears in the figure window. I am using matplotlib version 3.7.1 in python 3.11.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np


ax = plt.figure().add_subplot(projection='3d')

X, Y = np.mgrid[0:6*np.pi:0.25, 0:4*np.pi:0.25]
Z = np.sqrt(np.abs(np.cos(X) + np.cos(Y)))

ax.plot_surface(X * 1e5, Y * 1e5, Z, cmap='autumn',cstride=2, rstride=2)

ax.set_xlabel("X label")
ax.set_ylabel("Y label")
ax.set_zlabel("Z label")
ax.set_zlim(0, 2)

plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

The x and y axis are missing the 1e6 multiplier. In fact the multiplier is generated but it is actually plotted outside of the limits of the figure window. They can be made to appear by rotating the figure. I am attaching the rotated image showing the two 1e6 multipliers that are plotted far from where they should appear.

Additional information

I am new to python and, while proficient in other programing/scripting languages, I do not feel qualified to look at matplotlib code to figure out where the issue is. I reported this issue in StackOverflow but did not received a possible solution. Probably because I did not do a good job of explaining the issue.
