wha? so the tempo/time-signature map changes randomly while during 
(loop) playback is rolling?

it must be something else telling it so! could it be you have some other 
jack application which is confusing qtractor with a fixed 4/4 
time-signatures whenever it "feels like"? :)

check that out by turning jack transport and/or midi clock input options 
off, in View/Options.../General/Transport mode and/or .../MIDI/MIDI 
Clock resp. to "None". and try again.

hth.
cheers
