      Issue:

      while inside top, M will sort the output by memory usage.

       

      If you select a user, then sort by M, the output goes away

      If you sort by Memory first, then filter by user, it works.

      Reproducer steps:

      Open a second shell and login as user. I ran a sleep 1000 as that user. Then from the first shell, as root, checked top.

      top -u user > M > output is gone

      top > u > user > M > output is gone

      top > M > u > user > output stays

       

       

      Additional Notes:

      top > M > output is all present (I can see the user processes)

      This behaviour is not present in RHEL 8
