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.
Using staging is fine, if that works for you. But you may be asked if the bug also occurs in wine-development (to narrow down if the problem is introduced by one of the staging patches).
Got it. So, I get how Development and Staging work now. It's recommended to use Dev when bug reporting in most cases, just to make life simpler. But Staging is fine as well, as long as I understand I may have to double-check if some bug occurs in the Dev version as well (to check for regressions). Also, Staging may break some compatibility that was present in Dev, or... maybe fix something. So for personal use, it's just "use what works." For bug reports, you may have to do additional Dev testing if you use Staging.
Thanks for the help guys! Sorry for my previous confusion, but I understand it better now thanks to these replies. I will install the Development version to test how the bug behaves there, and I will report back with a comment.
