I'm using (I think) the latest version 
(com.livecode.widget.polygrid.1.1.1) and I don't see that problem at all.

Both "the text and "the pgtext" return the entire grid (without headers).

I haven't tried csvdata or tsvdata (they're not listed in the 
dictionary, so I'd tend to avoid them if possible.

And come to think of it - why did they need to invent a new property 
name "pgText" ?  It seems to be a synonym for "the text", so would it 
not have been better to just use that ?  Full consistency with many 
other controls, no added "mental clutter", and "the text" colours nicely 
in the script editor, so more obvious if you mistype it.
