Looks like I need to sign-up for Bugzilla so I can be a more useful and maybe contribute with reports etc, and once I have my feet more firmly planted maybe I can help with QA, sorting reports and checking the AppDB for info etc as I saw described in a document I found somewhere around here. It didn't occur to me that using a native dll illustrates something that devs are interested in fixing in the builtin libs, I feel/felt kind of like I'm whining about awesome free software.
Yes, the developers are very interested in building and fixing Wine's
built-in dll functionality to mimic, as close as legally possible,
native .dll functionality.
You are not whining, but are pointing out shortcomings of Wine's
built-in .dll functionality. And software never gets better unless
someone does something about it. Filing as complete as possible bug
reports is a step in that direction.
Keep on looking at problems with Wine. We can use all the help we can get.
