--- Comment #10 from Somewhat Cold 6chars@proton.me --- (In reply to Zeb Figura from comment #9)
The development branch and Wine-Staging aren't the same thing. Wine has a stable branch, a development branch, and then Wine-Staging is a separate branch which has a bunch of lower-quality patches (it's not quite maintained as a branch, but close enough).
Huh... well, that's new to me. I assumed the latest development version was Staging. I mean, technically speaking, Staging is the latest version in development, from what you've described. So I can see why I assumed I should use that on a glance. But, apparently, on a closer, more careful read, like you said, there are three versions with specific purposes. This is actually new information to me, so thanks for clearing it up!
Well, I don't know what to do now. I reported 3 bugs already related to this launcher, all using Wine Staging. Two of them were fixed, and this is the last one. I suppose I could try removing Staging and always use the Development version from now on. But, should I do it after this bug is fixed? Were the fixes for this bug that were just made in Staging even applied in the Development branch? Should I avoid using Staging as my main WINE? I don't know. I'm kind of new to this.
