Minor Bug in "System Monitor"

I’m posting this is the remote possibility that developers at QNX
monitor such things, and care. I’ve been playing around with a Quad
processor system, that has 4 HT processors in it. If I turn off HT,
the System Monitor works as expected. If I turn HT on, there are 8
processor scales shown, but only 6 of them show the processor Icon
to the left. In addition, if the area of the screen gets corrupted,
for example by passing a window over it, it does not clean up
propertly. The problem could be related to the ATI RAGE XL video
chip being used, but the problem does not appear with only 4
processors.

Will be interesting to see if the same thing happens in a quad dual-core setup.

Thanks for the report! I’ve put a PR into our database.
