CSV files are not being escaped properly.

[workergnome]

CSV files that contain quoted strings are not being escaped—this means that quotation marks, line feeds, etc. within a cell don't work properly. RFC 4180 is the (semi-official) standard for CSV files, and describes escaping.

I also have the same issue

The built-in CSV parser has its limitations. Here's how you can use an external parser like Papa Parse: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/u59176h4/

Thanks.

This is now working in the csv-rewrite branch: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/wfcbhe7g/4/

This branch basically adds more sophisticated CSV parsing to the data module, and will be merged into the master in Q2 2017.
