Problem Opening Saved data files in multiplot

I've encountered a little problem with saving and re-opening data files in Multi-plot.

When opening the .txt file (tab-delimited is default, I believe) saved from the Multi-plot main window, the columns do not align correctly. Screen shot below:



As you can see, the numerical values are misplaced one column to the right, due to the spurious NaN values inserted in the "slice" column.

If I open the data file in Excel, and then resave it as a comma-separated values file, and then open the data .csv file in AIJ, the columns align correctly, as shown below:



So, I can work around the problem, but it would be convenient if the .txt file opened correctly. Is the spurious NaN because of a problem with the label name? Is there a way to save the data file in .csv from multi-plot so that I don't need to do the conversion in Excel?

Using MacOS 10.13.3, 13" MacBook Pro with touchbar, Current version of AIJ

Thanks.
