Those status values may in fact be correct.

An activity flow's status is basically an aggregate of the statuses of all
actions inside the activity flow.  If any of the contained actions are not
in a completion state (finished, cancelled, etc), then the activity flow
considers that action active.  If any of the contained actions are active,
the activity flow is considered active, otherwise it is considered inactive.

For task statuses, those are initialized to some value when the action
sends them out, and the user can change that value when sending a task
response.  However, if a task status is not completed, deferred or declined
when an action finishes or is interrupted, then that task's status will be
automatically set to cancelled.

So, I expect what you're seeing is that you kicked off one or more actions
in your activity flow, and those actions sent out a task, and then
finished.  At this point, the activity flow would be inactive, and all the
tasks sent out by the actions would be cancelled.

Hopefully that helps, let me know if you have more questions,
