Why don't developers write test on their own? Is it too hard or do they think that it's not their business but the creator of the patch?
A test case serves as a proof that the patch is correct and that the patch creator fully understands what he is doing. Moreover, the test case serves as a measure that there will be no regressions in that area in future. The patch creator should have written some test application in any case to investigate the problem, and writing a test would require someone else to do that work from the very start once again.
This bug is highly voted and concerns game that's also highly voted, the fix is already here so I think it's not a bad idea to write test by anyone who know how to do it.
Without a test case this is just a quick hack. And as has been said many times voting means nothing in the Wine bugzilla.
