Bug Description

From the old bug tracker:

=============
when trying to drag a track from my library onto either of the channel's (1
or 2) an immediate pop up window comes up and says
QObject::startTimer;; timers cannont be started from another thread.

my only option is to hit OK

it then proceeds to open up numerous instances of thie same error message.
clicking OK is futile because 40 or so of the same windows have already
opened up and covered my desktop.

after waiting a few seconds, I roll over the OK button and Mixxx shuts down
and I am back at my empty desktop.

Extra information from Adam and I's discussion:

We've had this happen to us when some other error message pops up first, then the barrage of QTimer messages happen. Might be a weird race condition where some thread gets blocked by the first error message, causing another thread to go bonkers.

Committed some code a while ago that should help prevent this. If this occurs with beta3 (once its released), please let us know.
Thanks!
