This is the best summary I could come up with:
The #7955 bug report is over the S-Hoai Windows client displaying an application exception when clicking the "File" or "Projects" menu.
S-Hoai is a Windows application used in Germany by architects and building engineers/contractors for managing estimates and billing according to German laws.
This S-Hoai "Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure" software on at least older versions has been borked running under Wine with little activity in the bug report over the years.
But now in Wine Staging 9.11 is an OLEDB32 patch where mode can have multiple values as a string.
That will hopefully take care of the issue for S-Hoai and any other similar Windows software.
Separately, Wine Staging 9.11 carries an ODBCCP32 patch to correct the look-up of DSN before writing to registry.
