Premiere Pro Marker exports csv to single column

I am using latest Premiere Pro (ver.  25.6.2) , 
When I export Markers as .csv, it puts everything in one column,  like in the cssv file I attached (tunnel0001.csv),  But I used an older version of Premiere (ver. 24.6.8), it exports correctly everything in separate columns and rows and cells (Sequence 01.csv).  I want to know this is a bug or something else. It's just nonsense, Can anyone help me, please.

    When I open your two files with a text editor, it looks like they are both split into lines just fine:

    I can also import them in Open Office just fine (make sure to use "tab" as separator symbol:

    Maybe there is not an issue with the export, but with how you try to import the data?

     

    Bonus tip:

    In general, if you need more flexibility with the marker export, my (paid) extension Automation Blocks has tools for that:

    The big advantage is that the output can be fully customized:

    having the same problem. Older versions exported them the right way and there's no option to export them that way other than downgrading PP

      I created a Python script that batch changes CSV encodings in the folder where it is run.

      @momentum_5568,

       

      I'll look at this again later. Double-click to open in Excel: I see what you see. Makes no sense!

      @momentum_5568,

       

      The tunnel version is encoding UTF-8-BOM, whereas the other is UTF-16 LE BOM. If I change it, it opens correctly.

      Yes I found out that alson, so Premiere older versiona are exporting .csv with utf-16 LE encoding, but the latest version exporting it with UTF-8-bom, and we don't have any options to change it through expot settings. Thank you.

          Both of your attachments show them in columns.

           

          I am in Beta 26.0.0.39 at the moment. Marker export to csv looks correct to me there.
