Silly rabbit, you used an Office product to create a text file. I'm
pretty sure that never works. I would make sure that it is
filename.csv and checked in notepad or another editor that is not
famous for mangling text files.

Then it is time to switch to firefox (rimshot)

Seriously, that is strange - I see problems all the time with CSS in
templates not being cross platform, but the login is just a login.
What version is this, 4.5.2 or 4.5.2.1 maybe?
