OK.
I'm not really sure what's going on in your 3/4 time example posted above. Why do the 1/16th notes in the hihat_opened01.ogg track not line up with the others? That doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's a bug? (Or is it a feature?)
In fact it is the hihat track that has the correct number of 1/16th blocks. The other two have one to many.

Try starting from a new project file and change the time signature to 3/4 before doing anything else. Then open up the beat/bassline editor, add some tracks, and see if the vertical columns line up.

So I messed around with LMMS when I got home from work, and I can't replicate the weird behavior you saw in 3/4 time. (LMMS 1.1.3 from the Ubuntu multiverse repository on Linux Mint 18.3)
rghvdberg is right; patterns can be any length. If you have a 4/4 pattern and switch the time signature to 3/4, then the 4th beat of yhe pattern is now played on the 1st beat of the 2nd measure, and then 2 empty beats to finish the second measure are played before the pattern loops back to the first measure. Switching to 5/4 just adds a single empty beat at the end of the measure before it loops back to the first beat.

Yes - but I have LMMS 1.0.0 on Linux Mint 17 because I need Vestige.
