Backslashes are being added before commas in variables

I have a variable in a short answer survey, user types in text and that display on the next page, but all commas are preceded by a backslash, I would like to not have those backslashes.

I don't have a solution for you.  But I think you'll find that Captivate is adding those backslashes to "escape" the commas in your variables so as to prevent them from breaking something in the underlying code.  Commas are used in programming code and having commas inside your variable values can cause conflicts.
