Adding a non-steam application and then changing the target .exe is broken

[perhaps, this is hell]

Latest stable SteamOS,latest stable SteamOS Steam client

When you add a non-steam app,everything works fine. However, when you change the target .exe in prefernces order to run a different program in an already created prefix (e.g. when installing a game or a launcher), the program stops working at all. I've found out that when you change the launch file, the "Target" parameter is borked, because it fails to add quotation marks to the path, and "Start In" parameter is also broken as in it fails to update itself to the new target location, preventing the program you've added from launching.

I have 100% found the same issue. It used to work but now it's completely broken

I believe you need to put it in the same directory as the wine prefix.

you need to add quotations marks after selecting the path, e.g. "/path/to/the/exe"
