Describe the bug

When using DIR TO the distance to the waypoint should be shown.
(Only way currently to get the distance to plan the descent)

Unfortunately it is not shown directly:

To make the distance info available one has to move away from the DIR TO page and come back - then it is populated.

Expected behavior

DIST info should be shown as soon as a waypoint it selected in the DIR TO page.

Steps to reproduce

Enter a DIR TO waypoint (on the ground) and observe that there is now dist information populated.
Open another MFD page and then open the DIR TO again - then it is populated.

It seems like the leg is not computed every time the page is opened. When waiting for the computation to finish, the distances are shown correctly.

I pulled a request about this topic #9121, if you can check this out.
I started programming and I want to help FBW.
