Distance countdown to next waypoint

I hope this screenshot can be deciphered by you.  As you can see from the ND we are nearly at the next waypoint. However I thought that the distance should countdown between the last waypoint and the target waypoint but it shows it only as the total distance.  I know that the distances are fixed between the other waypoints until they become active, or so I thought.  The last line does countdown the nm to the destination which is good.

 

But do I have it right or wrong regarding the active waypoint?

On the MCDU 1 and 2 FPLAN page you always see the distance between two waypoints and the distance from your actual position to the final destination. The distance from your current position to the next active waypoint you can see on the ND in the upper right corner......... So you have all needed information available...... and this is modelled how it is RL........
