Would I be right in assuming you would like to see bugs in 32-bit
applications that are only present in a wow64 WINEPREFIX? Are there many?
Yes. As to how many there are, I've been able to find 7 by doing searches of summaries/comments for things like "wow64" and "64" and then reading the bugs to see if they fit, but since people have such wildly varying ways of phrasing things, I don't know if that's all of them. I have seen it often enough on the forum that I now routinely tell 64 bit users to try a 32 bit wineprefix and have added instructions on how to create one to the FAQ. That's why I'd like an easier way to track these bugs.
I see. A lot of people say this over and over again.
+1 from me for a wow64 keyword. They may even be fairly easy to solve 
(picking the right paths / registry entries).

As to keyword usage, some of those bugs were tagged with the win64 keyword, some weren't. I know there is also a win32 keyword, and perhaps that is meant to be used for the kinds of bugs I am looking for, but if so, that is not at all clear from the keyword definition, and it is not how people are using the keywords.
There's no win32 keyword?
