So what are you requesting? Have you tested if this works with newer versions of electron?

Hello, there is nothing we can do as Wire is tied to a specific Electron version, as specified in their release changelog; using a wrong one might cause history loss and all sorts of weird problems. Wire devs are aware of the old Electron version and promised me to upgrade, as soon as priorities permit. You can follow for example this PR if you want to see when the upgrade will happen: https://github.com/wireapp/wire-desktop/pull/4882
