I submitted the patch to Wine Staging: https://dev.wine-staging.com/patches/132/ Let's hope this gets accepted.
It has been accepted into Staging. Yay!
Shouldn't the status be set to "staging" along with the accepted patchset?
The description of the patch above says it's only a workaround to make the apps work until there is a proper fix.
I can't see a policy for this in https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs but I assume that a bug can be marked as "fixed on staging" only if it's a proper fix, even if it hasn't been merged into the main codebase yet because it needs reviewing and some improvements.
That's not such an easy distinction to make. If the fix is proper, it wouldn't be in staging anyway, but in vanilla Wine.
If the bug exists in vanilla wine, but not wine-staging, it is reasonable to make the status 'STAGED'.
Side note: the staging version is less hacky than the original submission..
The staging version looks good. I'm going to test it this weekend.
