A330 Managed Descent - THR DES vs THR IDLE

Hi!

The VNAV in A330 is quite confusing at times. Most of the time, during managed descent the FMA is "THR DES" and the thrust is slightly above idle.

However, at times you still have THR DES FMA and the E/WD indicates "idle". At other times the FMA changes to THR IDLE...

What's the logic of this?
