Description

Double-clicking https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=15335 or https://lmms.io/lsp/?action=show&file=15325 doesn't open in LMMS.

I can open them using the file/open menu.

Renaming the file to "x.mmpz" or even "().mmpz" solves it as well.

[I searched for "open file explorer" to check for duplicate issues - very sorry if there already is one]

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Windows Explorer with the linked Russian-named .mmpz files, then compare the result with opening the same files through LMMS's File/Open menu. Done means double-clicking an affected filename opens it in LMMS without requiring renaming.
