I seem to remember this was addressed before on the list...

Thanks, we must see if we can correct the exporting code accordingly.

We recently touched this code in view of some troubles in scid's pgn window.
The code is a nightmare, actually. It addresses all export options and 
export channels (pgn, html and tex) in a single function. This makes the 
code hard to understand and each change to it affects a zillion test 
cases. We may have missed one :-)

Cheers,
Joost.
