The problem is that some sequences contain " " (space characters) in their names. This is not treated well in the current UGENE version. For now, please avoid such names and replace " " by "_" or another character. See the attached file.

We're going to fix the issue in the future UGENE versions.

Thanks for your feedback!

See the attached file in my previous post. Please try to compare it with your original file and with the new one. Possibly, some space characters are still left...

Hello.

We're investigating the issue you reported and found out that it wouldn't be so easy to fix it. It is not clear enough from the file whether the space character belongs to a sequence name or it separates a sequence and its name.

Where did you get the Nexus file from your example? Was it produced by some software or downloaded from a database?

In general, you should actually enclose a sequence name with space character into single quotes like that (see the space character before "_sp..."):
