Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Be able to either disable the Workflow Monitor or get rid of useless references from Cross References view to Workflow view.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
Yes, when I'm viewing data/struct members there are those xrefs with 00000000 ?? which when clicked changes view to Workflow where ESC key doesn't work and takes few extra seconds to jump back to previous view...

I guess the Workflow view is for troubleshooting ? Why is that thing even enabled by default. Is there anyone sitting watching workflow monitor except someone who is trying to fix something in the app itself ?

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Yeah, just hide those Workflow xrefs from Cross References view.

Research direction

Start by examining how the Cross References view creates entries labeled 00000000 ?? and how selecting them opens the Workflow view. Determine whether those references can be hidden or the Workflow Monitor can be disabled by default. Done means invalid Workflow references no longer send users to the problematic view, or the monitor can be disabled as requested.
