Having read through some github issues, I have not seen a way to disable scientific notation on the plotting interface.

Has anyone found a way to do that?

for example, currently it shows 1.400e+5 instead of 140,000?

You need to set attributes on the default TickFormatter (or set a new TickFormatter) of the axis. There's some examples and information in the User's Guide:
