CA Idle bounces in 1st gear s5 gxl

When I put my s5 gxl in 1st gear while not revving (imagine coming to a stop in 1st gear instead of going to neutral or at the light waiting for green), the idle bounces up and down until I drive off. It happens every time.

What's the problem to this?

if it's bouncing between 1500 and 2k then your idle speed is hung up and/or set too high.
