Er, I'm pretty sure this was discussed on the previous thread - some time ago they not only "admitted" that it was a problem, they changed the behaviour so that when A/THR kicks out, the thrust remains at the last setting the A/THR commanded. The thrust setting does not change until the pilots touch the thrust levers.
I hope you are correct, and indeed if you are, I am more than willingly to retreat.

Looking at post #379 and that graphic, it seems to show that that thrust went to TOGA @ 2:10:51.

Then again the handling pilot may have selected TOGA rather than AT logic.

Time will tell.
This is correct,
thrust(N1) will be locked untill PF move T/L out of climb detent.
The cyan "Predicted N1(TLA position)" indicator is visible at the outer edge of the N1 scale.
To make the T/L setting in agreement with N1, PF needs to move T/L, as indicated by TLA position indicator, towards the N1 pointer (locked).
This must be done in 1 continuous movement otherwise N1 will travel towards this TLA pos 'bug' once TLA is out of Climb detent.

Forget the transient and trend indications these are only available in A/ Thrust.
