Morten Lynge commented on CSV-63:
---------------------------------

The issue is still in 1.4.

{code}
	@Test
	public void quotesOnFirstElement() throws IOException {
		StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
		CSVPrinter printer = new CSVPrinter(writer, CSVFormat.EXCEL.withDelimiter(';'));
		printer.printRecord("", "", "");
		printer.close();
		assertEquals(";;", writer.toString()); // yields org.junit.ComparisonFailure: expected:<[];;> but was:<[""];;>
	}
