Auto Orientation not working

The Automatic Orientation fails when you import a list of PGNs. If a FEN tag is included in a PGN, the Orientation should be set to match the side to move given in the FEN string.

Many apologies if this has been brought up before. I looked through the active chats briefly and I did not spot anything about Auto Orientation.

The PGN above is an example that does not orient to the black point of view when Auto Orientation is selected.
