I thought the indexing should shift to all gears automatically. Please correct me if Im wrong, im a born-again cyclist. Secretar1at chch NZ

I've also experienced that with lower-end shifters, it seems that if you set the limit screws so that it will shift with no holding then you get the odd over-shift that shifts it right off the rings. There's a reason the high end stuff is big $$$, more engineering, ramped rings, closer tolerances on how much cable is pulled etc.

It seems to me the chainrings would be more critical then the der. The der. is just moving and lifting the chain so the teeth can grab it. I have a Truvativ Blaze crankset with a Deore front der. and I don't have to hold the shifter down. Now my chainrings have pins and ramps to lift the chain so I am sure that helps.
