Timeline: remove clip you can move the whole Kdenlive window by grab the playhead

Summary
I found a strange behavior with the playhead and the timeline which I can demonstrate on Windows more clear then on Linux.
Could it be that the clips/proxy and effects are not proper scaled down in the timeline for playback.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

  1. Kdenlive new started -> playhead on timeline work as expected
  2. Add a clip to the timeline -> playhead need some time to react instead a blue line appears on the timeline header -> solved with https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdenlive/commit/1cf58f62e8c3cc5efe90b9b36605f6e52debe134
  3. Delete the clip -> playhead doesn’t work anymore. Instead you can move the whole Kdenlive window by grab the playhead. Playhead work only with the arrow key.
  4. Add a clip again to the timeline -> playhead moves only when you select the clip or wait some time. -> solved with https://invent.kde.org/kde/kdenlive/commit/1cf58f62e8c3cc5efe90b9b36605f6e52debe134

OBSERVED RESULT
Slow and strange behavior of the playhead and timeline

EXPECTED RESULT
Playhead and timeline react without time lag and we can’t move the whole Kdenlive window.
