No, the commas are not breaking the CSV file. Maximum number of characters allowed in a single cell of MS Excel sheet is **32,767**. If a column exceeded the characters limit then it’s breaking the CSV format. In our case `details` column having more characters in some `post_edit` staff actions. If I open the same CSV file in Google Sheets then it renders all the columns correctly.

If needed I’ll limit the maximum number of characters for `details` column to ~30,000 in the export unconditionally.
