I've rebuilt perf with libnewt to reproduce it, but to get any of the
callchain data I need to call perf report with a -g argument (which is
rather expected from the documentation anyway)

I still see the same problems as with the TUI perf report with that.
With the -g {mode},0.0 there is nothing to expand inside the GUI for
e.g. the pythong process, and with the 0.0 threshold I can only expand
a few 0.<something> callchains, but I never see the 80% your screenshot
shows.  What perf version are you running?

Also the flat mode is rendered incorrectly, it just adds different call
graphs inside a single process directly after each other instead of
separating them in the rendering.
