Oups, right. This is missing.
Thanks for pointing this out.
By the way, I don't think a back end driver is changing the selected state currently and I am not sure this is desirable since we want to trust the state we are going (as a best effort). So if the 'enter' function does not change the index, that means the last_state_idx has not to be changed since it has been assigned in the 'select' function.
