It took me a while to figure out what you are talking about.  Unfortunately,
there is a terminology issue, in that we do not call this a csv export
(File/Export/CSV,) which is only done one account at a time.  However, given
that the screen labels do say export the data for a report I can see the
terminology problem.  We'll have to find a way to avoid this confusion in the
future.  We would call this saving the data from a transaction report.  From
the screenshot I see it is the Tax Transactions by Category last Physical Year.
 It probably applies to all transaction by category reports, tax related or
not.

Just as a side note, it's a bit late to be reporting this as a regression from
version 4.x, which hasn't been supported in many years.  However, it is
certainly a reasonable request.  I've altered the priority from major to
normal, as it is really a convenience issue which would make the saved data
more easily readable, but does not result in incorrect data.  I'll leave it at
that, instead of a wishlist.  Until I look into the code, I don't know how easy
this actually is to implement.  Unless it is an easy fix, it will likely be
deferred to 5.2 (which is the label we are using for when the master
development branch is released for production use, which is not yet scheduled. 
5.1 is only getting fixes to bugs that affect the data or cause crashes.

For summary, in csv export of data from Transaction by Category Reports (only
confirmed in Tax Report so far, but likely all) the summary line showing the
total amount for a category does not repeat the name of the category, making it
harder to interpret.  In master branch, the total is put in the right most
column, which helps a small bit, but the category name is still omitted.  If
"hide transactions" is set in the report configuration, the category names ARE
shown, but that is then the only line for that category.
