Refind should highlight previously booted os, but since
refind-efi v0.11.3-1 package it does not. The first boot

But "cat /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/PreviousBoot-36d08fa7-cf0b-42f5-8f14-68df73ed3740" returns correct string that names priviously booted entry.

and refind-bin-gnuefi-0.11.3.
Both have this bug (always first entry highlighted).
Possibly, it is upstream bug?
It will be fixed in the next release. For now, if I understand that commit correctly, this should work:
default_selection +
It fixes this bug.
Please update refind-efi package in repository.
