Thanks for the bug report! I'm sorry we weren't able to get to this yet.

It looks like this is fixed. There have been many improvements to System Monitor since this was opened and I am unable to reproduce this bug on git-master. If you still see the problem on your system, please feel free to reopen this bug report. Thanks.
