Sly if you get a few free, open Activity Monitor. All the graphs here are blank with just the process name and nothing after and that is on every tab.
The graphs look Ok on my end. All the columns are in place (with the usual info) and so are the graphs at the bottom.

I will say that when you shift from tab to tab the graphs seem to be a bit slow to change. Not a huge difference but it seems to be just a tick slower than I remember from previous versions.

I don't have Catalina installed, but the update rate for AM is in the preferences. Maybe the default is slower?

EDIT: Actually, it's in the View menu from the top bar. My bad.

Update: When I posted earlier Activity Monitor looked normal. When I relaunched it to check Jake's suggestion I get the same behavior Dennis mentioned in his post. The process names are there but all numbers that should be to the right are gone. Some graphics at the bottom of the window update but others are blank.

Found what was wrong but do not know how it got that way. I was asleep while it was installing. Woke up and shook the mouse. It was that way. Well tonight I noticed a name that should be over the 1st column where the process names were was centered in the middle of where it was blank. I am using a Magic mouse on that system so pointed to where that description is and scrolled from side to side and the other names and columns started to show. Took a few scrolls and it all came back and that first headher was then over the column where the names were and all was normal! Crazy as I know for sure I did not hit the mouse while sleeping!

Well the plot thickens! :D Grin

If you either reboot or stop Activity Monitor and re-open it, issue returns and I have to drag and slide right to left with the Magic mouse to make the columns reappear again! Time to use the report button!

Good catch Dennis. When I noticed this last night after reading your post I didn't take time to try and work out the specific circumstances that replicate it. Bit late for all that.
