You betcha!  .csv files are "comma-delimited" and the application uses 
commas to determine when one field ends and the next one begins.  If you 
have commas in data fields, the system loses track and all subsequent 
fields are thrown off.

You will need to remove the commas from the Comment fields or use some 
other delimiting format.
