When I add some quoted text to an action description, then the next action (when it's an Export Log action) writes a zero-length file.&nbsp; For example:

&nbsp; Comment "with quoted text"

&nbsp; Export log as Text to file: c:\exportlogtest.txt

This worked in FB5.

&nbsp;

Attached is a sample project.
