Still valid 1.9.21-git. Any idea how to fetch wine-gecko version? The fix would be simple to add. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Right, I don't see how it's useful, since you can't switch to different wine-gecko version.
I disagree. At least Debian doesn't ship wine-gecko*. Running iexplore will run, but pages won't load. Loading the about dialog works, and I see the wine version. Ideally, it would show that no gecko version is loaded, instead. Well, they do, but it's usually out of date since they do a Copyright audit before pushing a new package version, which is usually delayed for quite some time. E.g., the latest is 2.24, https://packages.debian.org/source/jessie/wine-gecko-2.24, which is pre 1.8. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
