Bug ID: 58439
           Summary: REGRESSION: trying to edit a text field immediately
                    causes the previous content to be completely erased
           Product: Wine
           Version: 10.9
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Hi, I am recently experimenting a regression and even if I cannot say in which
version it was introduced, I am almost sure it is not the last one (but before)
and that it is indeed a regression (a few month ago the behavior was
different).

I am working with a software called LTspice (that is closed source but free,
which surely helps repro) and available from
https://www.analog.com/en/resources/design-tools-and-calculators/ltspice-sim....
Incidentally, the developers of this code have traditionally been wine-friendly
(even if they do not offer a linux version of their code, neither they provide
support for running it in wine, they have tried to ensure that it could be used
with wine).

This software is a circuit simulator with a schematic capture component. You
can pick and place components and edit the values of their parameters using
some dialog boxes. Often there are multiple things that can be tuned and the
dialog box is arranged as a sort of a table, where some cells are editable.

In order to adjust things, until some simulation results are satisfactory, it
is common to modify some parameters multiple times and in doing so it is good
to be able to edit the previous value.

Unfortunately, in recent times it has become impossible to do so when running
the software with wine. As soon as you try to modify a value, the value
disappears and you remain with an empty field to be filled from scratch.

Created attachment 78956
  --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=78956
Snapshot showing editable text field without any previous content erased

Attached is a snapshot attempting to reproduce the error for my custom dev
version wine-10.11-217-g3c4cc9d04b6 which uses
https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/wikis/Building-Wine#shared-wow64.

Using Electrometer example, a value in the graph was right-clicked triggering
the dialog box shown to change the value.

The original value displayed in the graph was populated in the corresponding
edit field which was able to be modified multiple times without being erased or
any other issues.

Please advise if there are other instructions that need to be followed since
I'm only novice level with SPICE in general from dabbling in the past with the
BSD version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE.

A regression test will help pinpoint the change in Wine.

Steps to reproduce will be helpful since my shot in the dark attempts haven't
reproduced it yet.
