Description

Hi, the app doesn't recognise this file as UTF-16 when I open it. I think it could be a bug, other apps do work.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem with the attached EnabledLaboratory_2017-08-06.csv.txt file and trace the app's file-opening and encoding-detection path. Done means the app recognises and opens this UTF-16 file correctly, matching the reported behavior in other apps.
