It seems the forest is "squashed" or not indented when you specify the

It's not a recent thing, top 3.3.17 has it too. I'm not sure if it is a
bug or just an unexpected (to me) result.
Hi Craig,
I had noticed that phenomenon too and was (almost) prepared to live with
it. That is until I began to research an even more disturbing anomaly
involving the TGID field.
When you '-p' select a true thread along with the '-H' switch (or later
the 'H' command), all tasks incorrectly show the target thread PID as
the TGID, not the real thread group leader's PID.
Well, it turns out that this TGID bug is also the cause of those forest
anomalies. And it's existed since at least 2011. But the trap was set
in 2003 when support for threads was added to ps.
Anyway, attached is the fix, along with another patch.
Regards,
Jim
