Description

When there are some spaces(formatting is not correct) in the report, when exported to csv output it creates additional rows(with comma's inserted).
The same is also experienced when "Snap To Elements" feature in PRD is enabled. Please find the attached sample prpt report, generated output.

Customer Use Case :

Even though “Snap to Elements” is enabled in the report designer, the spaces were created. Also when I have a large number of fields it is not feasible to format every field manually. I don’t want to do any formatting at all. All I need is to export fields from my query into a CSV file so that the CSV consumer process can parse the data.
