Details

I guess this is/was an issue with webpack as well, but it didn't happen for me when I was using webpack webpack/webpack#13642

One of my dependencies has a css file encoded as UTF-8 with BOM. This causes Chrome to not be able to fully parse the CSS that is output in development mode.

Note that in my actual project, the file with the incorrect UTF-8 BOM encoding is in one of my dependencies so it's not easy for me to re-encode it.

Reproduce Steps

1. Clone repo https://github.com/jparkrr/bom-bug-rspack-repo
2. pnpm run dev:rspack
3. See that the css rule isn't being applied to make the text blue.
