files are shown as empty where they are not

[damnms]

Description
i have a requirements.txt that is not empty and not modified (checked with git), but in netbeans it is shown as empty.
it looks like as if "someone" deleted the content, but as mentioned, that file is perfectly fine.
it seems like netbeans or the python plugin somehow identify them as binary, where they should be text/ascii.
i dont have those problems in pycharm, not sure if this is a netbeans bug or a netbeansPython problem.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open a python project
2. open the requirements.txt

Expected behavior
that all deps are listed as plain ascii

Screenshots

edit: just tested it and changed from UTF16 to UTF8, now it works again. so maybe its a netbeans problem

Yes seems a netbeans problem.you can test with the plugin disabled to see if its the case. If not you can reopen this issue.
