What exactly do you want to bisect? The problem is explained in comment 6.
There is no way to make the WP detection "smarter" about this.

This is an interesting idea. Looking at the detection priority list in
filter/source/config/cache/typedetection.cxx reveals that the WP detection has
indeed higher priority than other text based formats. I tried to lower it, and
it indeed solved the issue. Will be good to do more tests with it, before
pushing such change.

Unfortunately such approach won't solve all issues, e.g. csv or just plain text
files with strange extension (see the duplicates of this bug) would still fail,
because there is no way to "detect" such files before the WP detection catches
them.

Well, the explanation is in comment 6. Anyway REOPENED isn't the right status
for this, let's keep it as NEW instead.
