I've only recently started using htop, and the last task I had to do in it was try to figure out a similar thread problem.
The default UI did not tell me if the threads had 'run amok'. There aren't enough lines on the display to tell whether a process with 10 threads on a normal day is now running 50.
So like you said, I had to turn off threads, then turn on the thread count column (which I never would have found without a search engine/stack overflow).
