Speed and altitude constraints

Hi,

autostart, climb, cruise, descent, autoland... all work fine in VNAV mode while using SID, route at CRZ ALT and STAR _without_ modify the constraints. But the plane descent from t/d to e/d without observing the STAR constraints.

When when i modify a constraint in the cruise, then i lose the t/c and t/d flags on the map and the plane remain on CRZ ALT. When i delete the modified constraint, then the t/c and t/d flags reappear and the plane start descent at t/d (if i remove it before the plane reach the t/d). But again without observing the STAR constraints.

Is this a bug, a feature or my misunderstanding?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my poor english.
  

best regards, Fred-C130

And again the old rule Wink RTFM! Manual 5, page 54: "Waypoint speed and altitude predictions are displayed in small font.". Predictions are not constraints...
