Description
## What's bothering me
1. When opening multiple workflows at the same time, i if one workflow is running and you switch to another workflow tab, the node in the other workflow will also show a working status. I think many users may have already reported this, but I didn't find it in the issues.

2. When opening multiple workflows at the same time, it's hard to find the one that is running. There is no difference between working and non-working workflows.
## My Suggestions
1. If possible, only allow the nodes in the running workflow to display the running status.
2. Add a simple marker to the workflow tab that is currently running for users to distinguish, just created a quick demo:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with multiple workflow tabs, then trace the frontend handling of workflow and node running status. Done means only the active workflow's nodes show a running state and the running workflow tab has a visible marker, with the behavior verified across multiple open workflows.
