Public bug reported: Currently when I run top and use key "y" to enable highlighting for running task, only tasks with status "R" are highlighted. However, as many modern processes are IO limited instead of CPU limited, it would make sense to highlight both CPU limited and IO limited processes because both are logically running as far as the user is interested.
I'm hereby requesting that the "running tasks" highlight should highlight all processes with status "R" or "D" instead of only "R" like it currently does. I don't understand the "I" state to know if it would make sense to include that, too, as a "running task".
