All wine versions 3.x I tested will crash when I try to perform a File --> Open or File --> Save from a Windows program running in wine.
This was not happening in any wine version 2.x I tested on my Linux Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.
For example I use the Garmin MapSource Program 6.16.3 to insert POIs to my GPS. I am unable to open any GPX file, either a route, or POI file. Drag and Drop will work, however I will not be able to save any change as the program does not know where does the file come from. Saving or Opening a file will cause a crash. See the attachment picture. One is correctly opening the combo box to select a path and a file (this is in wine version 2.x)(not possible to attach 2 pictures), the other display a pop-up error window and following a click the program crash (this is in wine version 3.x).

Second example using the Captvty downloaded on http://captvty.fr/. This program allows the download of French speaking TV shows in Europe and Canada. A detailed explanation of how to install it in Linux wine is given on the website, although in French only.
Upon opening Captvty I have to set for each new release the Download directory by clicking on the lower left Options button. Then I click on 'Téléchargement et noms de fichiers' and when I click on the 'Parcourir...' button in order to open a combo box to select a directory, wine 3.x crashes. With wine 2.x it was working on all versions.
So my question is : Did you ever test properly your new version 3.x releases ? And when will this quite annoying bug be fixed ? We are now at least 9 month in the wine 3.x releases cycle ...
In the mean time I am still running wine version 2.x on my Linux machine.
