File a bug report?

Hi everybody.

After updating WINE to from 0.9.49 to 0.9.50 I noticed major slowdown in
Company of Heroes, to the point that I get like 1 Frame every 2 seconds.
Wine spams the console with:

fixme:d3d_shader:IWineD3DVertexShaderImpl_CompileShader Vertexshader
0x4d20b78 recompiled more than 50 times

Trying to find out the cause for the slowdown I did my first attempt at
using git bisect and I could trace the slowdown to this patch:

959212304dfaf0e7459374593b20b74fe22a0b57 is first bad commit

wined3d: Track vertex declaration changes on vertex shaders.

If an attribute has type D3DDECLTYPE_D3DCOLOR, the red and blue channels
    are swizzled in the shader. Since the attribute is stored in the vertex
    declaration and not the vertex shader, it can change by setting a new
    vertex declaration. If this happens, we have to recompile the shader
    with the swizzling of that specific attribute turned on or off.

Now without that patch there is slight texture corruption in the game,
with the patch it's much much less but it renders the game unplayable.
The reason I didn't file a bug report is that I am not sure if it is
really a bug or not since obviously the patch fixes in-game texture
corruption.

Please file a bug report for this, thank you.

Also, in the future, please bring up issues like this in the wine-users
list as well.

This patch caused quite a few similar regressions, I fixed one of them before 
the .50 release, and another one afterwards, so you might want to give the 
current git code a try. However, there is at least one (not yet known) 
situation left where shaders recompile all over.
