"There is no disk in the drive" warning bug

The following pops up shows whenever you've recently used a disk drive (yes, some people still have them) and there is no disk currently in the tray and then either start OT, somehow bring up the File Browser window, or collapse then uncollapse My Computer in the File Browser:

I've traced the problem to calls to QTreeView::scrollTo() function from the QT library. Whenever setting the index of the file path in the tree, even though it's not on the disk drive, for some reason it still tries to access the disk drive and throws this warning multiple times. Example: On startup and whenever the File Browser is shown for the 1st time, it eventually gets to DvDirTreeView::setCurrentNode() and calls scrollTo(). When loading a level, it eventually calls scrollTo directly like in FileBrowser::showEvent.

One can just Cancel/Continue without any issue, but it's rather annoying since in most cases, you have to respond multiple times before it can go forward.

Unfortunately, since it is in the QT Library, I'm not sure how we can implement an OT workaround to keep that from happening. I've tried figuring it out a little, with no real success so will defer to someone who might have a better idea of how to address it in OT, if even possible.
