- WinRAR could start a wrong file after a user double clicked an item in a specially crafted archive. We are thankful to Andrey Polovinkin from Group-IB Threat Intelligence unit for letting us know about this bug;
- if both NTFS and Unix time extra fields were available for a file in ZIP archive, extraction command ignored the second extra field even if it provided more time fields than first one;
- interface themes were applied to archive icons even if “Apply to archive icons” option in “Organize themes” dialog was turned off.

Changes in Version 6.22:

extracting individual files from solid archives created by RAR versions older than 2.0, could fail in v6.20 and 6.21. It didn’t affect extracting the entire archive, which was performed correctly;
files in Unix ARJ archives could be erroneously displayed as folders in WinRAR file list;
“Display files in Explorer” extraction option was ignored if “When done: Close WinRAR” option was also set and archive was opened in app before extracting;
file size value in the internal viewer status bar didn’t include the byte order mask field, displaying a smaller than actual size for Unicode files.
