A320 idle descent

When we use managed DES at higher altitude, the FMA shows THR IDLE but EWD does not show IDLE in green. When I select OPEN DES, EWD shows IDLE in green the N1 decreases.

It means in managed DES, though the FMA says THR IDLE, it is actually above the achievable IDLE thrust.

Why so? Any light on that?

[Edit: THis doesn't happen all the time ]
