Description
When exporting a Vector layer as CSV and choosing to export the geometries as WKT, the application silently truncates any geometry whose text would exceed 8000 characters. This includes the removal of the closing " and happens whether the WKT is long because there are many points or because a multipolygon contains many polygons etc. It is the character limit that is observered. Using 2.4.0 on Windows 7

just tested and I can confirm it, but the issue seems to be in gdal/ogr (used by qgis) as from the ogr2ogr command line the result is the same
