GenericScopeView test getting stuck

[Michał Sawicz]

Every once in a while britney comes back with a failed run that is, in fact, a timed out run. Every time it gets stuck on GenericScopeView - but on different tests.

Here's an example log.

I "can" (by letting it run for hours) get it stuck in GenericScopeView::test_seeAllTwoCategoriesScenario1

Backtrace at http://paste.ubuntu.com/23475591/

debugging with gdb it seems it got stuck at QQuickTimeLinePrivate::advance, seems advanceTime was always 0 in that particular case.
