--- Comment #13 from Van winebugrpt18356@fastmail.jp --- Experimented a bit more and found out what the real culprit was: using "wine start" instead of "wine". I remember changing from "wine" to "wine start" awhile ago, something I read about it being safer I think. Anyway, it's worked ever since I began using it up until WINE v4.x.
