BTOP 1.4.0 uses screen space less efficiently in CPU graph

[friebi]

I would not consider this as a bug, but a deterioration compared to previous releases and a nice to have to be fixed. Maybe it is expected behavior and explainable.

Starting with 1.4.0 the list of CPU cores in CPU graph has changed and consumes (in my cases) a lot of more (imo unnecessary) space. See screenshots below. I guess that commit https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/commit/3f384c0a5db78e4f622fdd7c4355a52c645f8eb2 is causing the different behavior.

To Reproduce

Upgrade from 1.3.x to 1.4.0.

Expected behavior

Use the available screen space efficiently.
