Research direction

Start by reproducing the export freeze in LMMS 1.2.2 using the listed steps and compare the behavior with related issue #5919. Trace the export workflow from File -> Export and use the provided launch output to identify where the application stops responding; done means WAV, MP3, and OGG exports complete and LMMS remains usable.
