Is this a known thing? I searched the list archives but didn't see this.

The space itself is not a problem, but the extension is then “txt ” which TM has never seen before, so it has to determine if the type is text or binary. If it is binary, it will not open if you just single- click it, but you can change that by right-clicking the file and educating TextMate.

The way it determines if it is text is, if the first 1024 contain valid UTF-8, so I assume your student is using some other (legacy) encoding.
