Users have to create bug reports in Wine's Bugzilla or update existing reports. Without these, the Wine Development people, who for the most part are volunteers, have no idea on where to place their assets, time and knowledge, to help and resolve issues. We also don't know if something broke while trying to fix something else without these reports. Simply, if you want Wine to become better, you have to file bug reports. The developers don't have the time to cull through hundreds of messages to find that a problem exists or that it has been fixed. James McKenzie
