I have noticed an oddity in the Report Writer (Export to Gedcom). I
have a number of "source" records associated with individuals that
include a URL in the "Comments" field such as :

http://search.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=uki1851&h=12079223&ti=5538&indiv=try

when this is written to gedcom it is truncated as follows :

--------------------------------

As you can see the initial "h" of "http" has been dropped from the NOTE in the INDI record although it is written correctly in the SOUR record.

It is not clear though why the same information needs to be written to both the INDI record and to the SOUR record which is referenced by the INDI record.
