Right after sending this I had the idea to check the XML file in
tellico's .tc file. Maybe there are differences there that don't
show up when rendered in the application.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, that didn't seem to help much. Here's the
description line for the Bonk 3 (the working one):<br>
<br>
<description><i>Bonk's Big Adventure</i>
is the third instalment in the side-scrolling platformer series. As
in previous games, the player assumes the role of a caveman named
Bonk who headbutts his way through various enemies in order to
defeat King Drool. Familiar moves include swinging on trees,
bouncing off walls, breaking blocks and climbing walls with his
teeth. Compared to the previous games, he walks and moves a little
faster.<br/><br/>Bonk has the new ability to
pick up red and blue candy power-ups that make him grow or shrink
and grab a flower copter. As always, there is plenty of platforming
and enemies to discover. The game consists of seven rounds, set in
the Dinosaur Kingdom, finished off with a boss. At the end of each
stage, 16 smileys can be exchanged to play up to eight different
bonus stages (2 smileys per stage needed). New level elements
include ziplines and sewer pipes. The game also features a
cooperative multiplayer mode.</description><br>
<br>
Note the "<br/><br/>" line breaks separating the
paragraph.<br>
<br>
Now for Bonk's Adventure (the broken one):<br>
<br>
<description><i>Bonk's Adventure</i> is a
prehistoric platform game where you are in control of a large bald
headed caveman, guiding him through the levels taking out all manner
of strange prehistoric creatures that get in your way including King
Drools henchmen - all in effort to free the captured/controlled
residents of Moonland (bosses) - including the Princess Za from King
Drool attempted take over.<br/><br/>The game is
not unlike other platform games of the era. Though it's unique in
that you can climb walls and swing on rope with your teeth and your
only method of attack is head butting enemies - straight forward or
dive bomb style. The game starts off with simplistic point A to
point B style, but focuses more on exploration in the later stages,
which include finding hidden bonus
areas.<br/><br/><SNIP></description><br>
<br>
Note that this is also separated by
"<br/><br/>".<br>
<br>
I'm at a loss here.<br>

Hello.<br>
<br>
I've noticed an odd behavior with the CSV export functionality.
When exporting games with a multi-line description, the
descriptions are *sometimes* split across multiple lines of the
CSV file instead of being contained in a single field.<br>
<br>
Pardon the large amounts of text to follow, but I'm not sure how
else to illustrate.<br>
<br>
As an example for Bonk 3, here's the description as shown in
tellico:<br>
