Anyone else see this and/or know a way to remedy?
When running btop on MacOS, the proc window is reporting that zombie processes are consuming CPU. According to htop and ps, they're not using any CPU, which aligns with what a 'zombie' process actually is. Glances reports only question marks.
The issue, it just makes my process window look ugly when zombies show up. Below are screenshots showing the same PID in each different application.
