> So why is it so hard to ask the people interested in this (or the person who
wrote the fix) to write a test case?

Because you need someone who ticks all the boxes:

1. Encounters this bug with enough frequency to be motivated to help
2. Knows enough about the wine internals to write a test case
3. Has easy access to a copy of Windows to test the other side of things

#2 is sort of optional, since the patch has already been written. #3 is tricky,
I know I don't meet it. Anyone who does, AND also meets #1, might just use
Windows anyway when they want to play the game, so they don't care as much.

So people who tick #1 get annoyed at the people who tick #2, and no-one likes
people in group #3 anyway, and everyone flames everyone else :)

> There is noone who reports any issues with the patch.

This could be because the only people who use the patch are listed on this page
(maybe not, I don't know).

> Can you explain to us how to write a test case to something that happens randomly?
