If an x, y, or z coordinate is more than 10m (10,000 units), the coordinates in the properties panel (N), do not give the right number #46711

Short description of error

I work in mm for large architectural objects for seamless import/export into other programs. I have noticed a bug in which if a coordinate of an element in edit mode is more than 10m (10,000 units) in any Cartesian direction, the properties panel does not display the correct coordinate.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open new blank file, go to scene tab in properties, change units to "Metric", and set scale to 0.001
Add a plane(or any other mesh).
Scale it and/or move so the dimensions in either direction are more than 10m
With the object selected, go to edit mode, select a vertex, edge, or face that's further than 10m from the origin.
Open the properties panel (N), and observe the coordinates for the selected element. They should read 10m for whichever direction is further away than 10m.
If trying to change it to more than 10m, it stays back at 10m.
If clicking on the number without attempting to change and then pressing enter, Blender appears to be confused and displays 10 instead of 10000.

The problem comes from 3DView's view3d_panel_transform which set max input values of those fields to 10000 times grid size, will let @ideasman42 decide whether this is a bit too small or not.

In the mean while, quick hack to fix this is to raise grid scale in 3DView's properties, Display panel.

Thanks. The quick fix works. Meanwhile, for myself and other architectural designers that may be working in mm, it would be great to change view3d_panel_transform to something larger, perhaps 1,000,000 times grid size.
