Different menu items. Patrick is talking about "Export Active Register
to CSV"; I'm talking about "Export Transactions to CSV". The attached
screenshot confirms what I said; I've outlined the relevant text in
blue. (I'm using GC 4.14, so I suppose it's possible the working of
"Export Transactions to CSV" was changed for 5.x, but I'd be surprised.)
