    Description

      Somehow we have user preference values containing an empty string for 'htmleditor':

      SELECT * FROM `mdl_user_preferences` WHERE name = 'htmleditor' AND value = '' 
      

      id userid name value
      150 2 htmleditor  
      162 4 htmleditor  
      166 409 htmleditor  
      219 2486 htmleditor  

      Running a privacy export produces the following debugging:

      Inspecting the exported data:

      var data_file_1104 = {
          "htmleditor": {
              "value": "",
              "description": "Your preferred editor to use for writing HTML text is [[pluginname]]"
          }
      }
      

      Affects all versions from 3.5 onwards
