For many years the modal windows of applications written in Delphi doesn;t work. This makes those application really hard to use.

There is an upstream bug report since 2011.
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26503

Last December a user posted a workaround patch that makes things much much better. But it isn;t included yet (And don;t know if it ever will).

This is the patch.

Would it be possible for Arch to include it?
This task depends upon

You might be able to get the patch accepted into Wine Staging or PlayOnLinux. Arch Linux generally avoids modifying upstream software.
