No problem.
This bug has probably been there since before OpenVSP was Open -- pre 2015 -- in fact, it probably goes back much farther than that!
You may wonder (I certainly did) -- How could STL import be broken for so long?
Well, it was only broken on Windows for ASCII STL files with non-native line endings. So, these STL files were either created on a Unix system -- or by a piece of software that does not use native line endings when writing these files on Windows.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention with a simple test case.
