Before take-off I verify that in the PERF CLB tab in the FMS, I have THR set to AUTO-DERATE as usual. Upon take-off, at some point, this switches to CLB. This has happened two flights in a row.

I looked into this in the FCOM and apparently there's a way to get to CLB from AUTO-DERATE (yellow is my emphasis):

I will test a bit more, but perhaps this is what is happening. I'm not quite sure how it should work, since passing from CL to MCT happens when I push the throttles for a normal flex TO, and the levers go back to CL normally too. All I can say is that this did not happen in previous versions of the plane.

Okay, after testing: moving the throttle CL->MCT->CL doesn't make the aircraft to switch to CLB so that's not what's going on (and maybe that functionality should be added).

Thanks for your report. I will forward this to the team for further clarification!

Same here.

Thanks Kyle! You're doing a really great job here. The fact that ini has someone at these forums always ready to test stuff and answer questions is a big reason why I keep buying your stuff.

And despite my only posts here recently being bug reports, I think 1.2.7 made some really big improvements overall. Performance is overall much better for me, the screens feel so much better to interact with (I didn't see it mentioned in the patch notes, but it's clear you changed the whole interface) and I'm super excited for v2.
