Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I played Mana Spark without issues in November 2023. I didn't touch it since then - it was installed, just waiting. Steam and system updates were plenty, though. I run it again today, and it started updating my default Wine prefix. This game has a native build, so I closed it and checked what's going on. The %command% Steam was reliably trying to start:

/home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/reaper SteamLaunch AppId=630720 -- /home/user/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper -- /home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mana Spark/ManaSpark.exe

This, obviously, started Wine. I fixed it by checking and then unchecking "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool". The `%command% after this is correct:

/home/cg/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper -- /home/cg/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/reaper SteamLaunch AppId=630720 -- /home/cg/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Mana Spark/ManaSpark.x86_64

Steps for reproducing this issue:

I tried to reproduce it unchecking and checking again the global "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" setting, but it doesn't trigger this bug. I wouldn't feel OK if I didn't document the issue, though, because it seems general and not specific to Mana Spark. If you have any ideas on how to reproduce this, I'm up for testing.

Hello @cprn, this should be a leftover confused config from #9875, which should continue to behave as expected going forward.
