### Bug Summary

LMMS is unable to copy like 10 tracks of 2 min at once by selecting all and use CTRL right mouse button to paste them at 2 min so make a total of 4 min. It will hang and not responding.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang in LMMS on Windows using CTRL-A, then copying and pasting the selected long sequence with the described right-click and CTRL action. Trace the copy/paste path involved in duplicating multiple tracks; done means a roughly four-minute sequence is created without LMMS becoming unresponsive.
