Crash when using log scale on Surface plots

[sf1919]

Original reporter: Max Skoda, ISIS

Describe the bug When trying to set the colorbar to logarithmic in the plot setting for a surface plot Mantid gives the following error and then crashes

Scale is set to logarithmic so non-positive min value has been changed to 0.0001.

I noticed that this only happens when trying to change it in the Image settings. Right clicking on the colorbar and changing it does not seem to crash.

To Reproduce

For example

1. Use the following script from the documentation to create the correct workspace

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = Load('MUSR00015189.nxs')
data = mtd['data_1'] # Extract individual workspace from group

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={'projection':'mantid3d'})
ax.plot_surface(data, cmap='viridis')

2. Right click on data workspace and choose Plot->3D->Surface
3. Click on the settings wheel in the toolbar
4. Click on the Image Tab
5. Change the Scale to Logarithmic - Mantid crashes

Expected behavior Mantid should not crash and the scale should change to Logarithmic
