These two images are from a KATL-KTPA flight using the FOXX3 STAR and ILS 19R at KTPA. Both were taken during the descent phase of the flight.
This image shows the 752 approaching waypoint LEGGT which has an altitude restraint of FL270. The 752 crossed LEGGT at 27100 which I would say is right on the money.
This image is several miles past LEGGT. It indicates waypoint TABIR has a restraint of 250 kts and 13000 ft. Even though TABIR is still 52 nm away the 752 is slowing to 250 kts and the descent has stopped at FL270. Once the speed was 250 kts the 752 started to climb at 200 fpm to God knows where. When it became obvious that the plane was going climb rather descend I switched from VNAV to V/S and continued on in this fine aircraft.
