Hi, thank you so much! This simplifies things quite a bit! Just one issue,
after searching throughout my mac I can't seem to be able to find anything
under application support. Is there another area I'm supposed to put the bug
fix into? For example do I put it into the /c drive of the wrapper or is this
something that goes into the wineskin winery. Again, forgive my utter lack of
knowledge for all things technical! However, you guys have been super helpful
so far! Also I dont think its a bad idea to keep this stuff on this page. After
all, it looks like people have been cursed with this bug since 2013!
