What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

This has been observed for the following scenarios:

Controller	Agent
Linux(ubuntu)	Linux(ubuntu)
Linux(ubuntu)	Windows-10

Reproduction steps

I've been able to reproduce with a simple dummy scenario:

1. Create a disabled freestyle job
   1. New Freestyle
   2. Name:01-Disabled
   3. Description: This is a disabled project
   4. Build: Add shell or Windows batch command

      echo Hello I'm disabled
      

   5. Disable the job
2. Create an an enabled freestyle job
   1. New Freestyle
   2. Name:02-Enabled
   3. Desription:This project is enabled
   4. Build: Add shell or Windows batch command

      echo This step is enabled
      

3. Create a multijob that uses the two
   1. New Multijob
   2. Name: 00-Multijob
   3. Desription: I call 01-Diabled and 02-Enabled
   4. Build:
      1. Add multijob phase
         1. Name: P1
         2. Job: 01-Disabled
         3. Continue on Success
      2. Add multimob phase
         1. Name: P2
         2. Job: 02-Enabled
         3. Continue on Success
4. Run the multijob phase
5. View the job run information

It goes into infinite recursion in the display

Expected Results

It should not execute the disabled job.
The display should not go into infinite recursion. Previous releases of the plugin would display this as simply 02-Enabled, and not show 01-Disabled at all.

The following screenshot is from our real configuration when it was working (with 1.36). When we have the Test-Linux stage, after Build-Linux disabled. It's disabled in the Test-Linux job, NOT at the multijob layer.

Actual Results

Anything else?

This problem did not start until we upgraded to 611.v9d3180d752e6 from 1.36.

I've attached the config for the simple scenario I've explained.

We ran into this as well. The problem gets more noticeable if you allocate a lot of stack memory to the server (-Xss) because it cycles for a very long time and locks up the controller while recursing.

I tried downgrading to 1.36 and experienced the same infinite recursion when displaying the results of an old run that had a disabled job as part of the chain, so it's unclear how new this bug is. I have not figured out whether "new" runs will be healthier.

Our environment is Amazon Linux (redhat'ish) with Jenkins 2.346.3 (recent LTS) running on Java11.
