Bug Summary

Changing the time signature can cause midi clips within patterns to disappear. They still play, but you cannot edit them or interact with them in any way.

Expected Behaviour

The midi clips should not disappear when the time signature changes.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Open LMMS
  2. Press the new pattern button
  3. Change the time signature while in the 2nd pattern
  4. Look at first pattern
  5. Look at the second pattern again
  6. The clips in the second pattern have disappeared

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in LMMS using the listed steps: create a new pattern, change the time signature while in the second pattern, and inspect both patterns. Trace the PatternEditor behavior when the time signature changes. Done means MIDI clips remain visible and can still be edited and interacted with after the change.
