Bug:
The hover window for the tray icon is extremely confusing.
It shows processes which are already terminated with usage percentages.

Solution:
Only show processes which are actually running.
Alternatively, clearly mark terminated processes with a different colour or background.

At the bottom of the popup window there's a settings icon where you can enable the Refresh Automatically option. If the option is disabled then the popup window can't remove terminated processes:

Did you change the highlighting duration? Your video shows terminated processes remaining visible more than 1 second and those settings also determine when terminated processes are removed from view.

Yes, I leave the highlight long so that I can follow terminated processes in the main window. Are you saying the bug in the tray icon is caused by that?
Please either don't look at the main window's highlight for the tray icon, or CLEARLY mark which processes are already terminated (red or gray or italic or something like that).

Are you saying the bug in the tray icon is caused by that?

Yes. Those settings determine when entries are removed after the process has terminated. Since you're using long durations they remain in view, while the tray window is generally expected to only be used for short durations.

I've added labels for terminated processes and experimental highlighting in the tray window in the latest canary builds.
