[slurm-users] squeue: compact pending job-array in one partition, but not in other

[Thomas M. Payerle]

I believe this behavior is intended as various properties of the jobs that
were requeued no longer match the properties of the rest of the job array.
It might not show on the minimal output you are displaying, but I suspect
the jobs were requeued at different times and so the priorities of the jobs
(which typically increases with time spent in the queue) are no longer
identical.
