Is it possible for an application to launch via wine,but then to not execute commands correctly?Just asking for information,no present situation.

How would one know if something like that happens?

Mostly by observing bad behavior. If you are worried that an
application that balances your bank statement will somehow get the
wrong answer this is extremely unlikely. Now if you are worrying if
there may be some GUI glitch that is more likely.

Well i'm more worried about the first.Getting calculations that are greatly mistaken.GUI glitches i've already encountered.Like on bricscad when you use an option that opens a dialoue window,it goes immediately out of focus and you cant do anything other than kill the app.

But i'm worried about behaviour other than that.

Wine is about reimplementing the Windows APIs.

Calculations are not done using the Windows APIs, so Wine or no Wine should not matter.

(As long as the start values used in the calculation are the same, which they may or may not be.)
