Not the fault of Ideal Flight!
After some testing, I found every time, that when I.F. Autothrottle was on, and I then turn on the aircraft AP Autothrottle, I get the message that I.F. Autothrottle is turned off. So your request to have I.F. Autothrottle turn off when you use aircraft AP Autothrottle was in error because that system has been working since the I.F. Autothrottle was incorporated into the program.
If any input on the throttles is done from another source I.F. turns off its Autothrottle. So the problem you had is caused by something else affecting your throttles; for example, you have a physical throttle lever and switches, and you press one of those switches, and the sim takes all the inputs from your physical throttle lever and assumes you moved the throttle.
What I find is that using the I.F. Autothrottle is easier than using the aircraft AP Autothrottle.
