Description

Describe the bug
Sometimes, when I hit "Export to QuickStatements" it just throws an empty window, without any text to copy to QuickStatements. If I go back, look again at the schema (without editing it), change views a couple of times, then try to export again, this time it seems to work. (Sorry, can't be more precise, but it's happened several times to me today. Possibly related to #1700 - on at least some of the occasions it is possible I had re-started OpenRefine & gone to an existing project with an existing schema.

Research direction

Start from the “Export to QuickStatements” action and reproduce the failure with an existing project and schema, including the reported restart and view-change sequence. Trace the export entry point and reduce the intermittent behavior to a repeatable case; done means the export window consistently contains the expected QuickStatements text.
