Visualize electron density from orca->molden file

The AppImage from here for Linux (i.e., version 1.95 of Avogadro), equally fails to read the file.

My next guess was to attempt reading the file with Jmol. Though neither orca, nor molden is explicitly mentioned in their compilation of supported file formats as input, the geometry is read promptly. (What looks similar to point group symmetry D_\infty{}h, like in acetylene, is unusual; possibly you skipped a preliminary geometry optimization with a force field like UFF, or MMFF96 before engaging the computation whose results you submit.) It seems noteworthy, if you read the file molden file from Jmol’s console (large portions of the program’s actions are easier accessed by scripting [File → Console], than the GUI) with

load "water molden.txt";

Jmol reports the warning: Unsupported orbital type ignored: [9G].

Nevertheless, from Jmol’s canvas, right-hand mouse click Surfaces → MEP, or Surfaces → Molecular Orbitals → 24 to visualize orbital #24 works, though again, note the symmetry of the molecule merits revision, or (if it is a snap shot of a vibration) justification:
