            Bug ID: 52732
           Summary: Garbage user-name crated with wine, not the proper
                    user-name like in older versions.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.4
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: rencer at euromail.hu
      Distribution: ---

I'm not sure exactly when (the latest 7.4 version or which previous version)
this started to happen, because for a very long time I used Lutris to manage
Wine-versions and my Windows programs. Because of Lutris,I don't even have Wine
installed system-wide.

Sadly with the newest system (Manjaro XFCE) update someting in Python is
totally broken, and because of that Lutris won't work anymore, so I had to
install wine from system repo.
The latest version in 7.4

The problem is when I createa a new (or try to change an existing wineprefix to
use this system version), the user name is not my real username that I logged
in with. Now wine creates a strange garbage user name: "u@". Previously it was
correct and alway created the proper user folder, with the user who logged in
and run wine.

Long time ago, before I started using Lutris (I'm not sure which wine version
that was, around 4.x) I used command line to run wine, create prefixes, or run
any Windows programs and never was this bug. Also most of the progrmas I
installed with older versions and later never changed it, I think the last
version that I used with Lutris is 6.something and it also don't had this
user-name bug.

Problem is that all programs in any existing Wine-prefixes that was created
with Lutris, (with the PROPER user-name) are broken, settings are lost, saves
won't find, etc.,etc.,etc. because all the settings/saves are located in the
correct user-name folder and not in this new bugged garbage "@u" name. First I
thouth I lost all my files, and when I checked them with file-manager, that is
how I realised this strange behaviour.

Copying the files to the new garbage name location in NOT working all the time,
because many times programs store their settings, saved files, etc. in the
registry-database, so, this bug really broke many things.
