States not working

I find using states very unstable and troublesome. Here's an example:

I have three states: Default, open, closed. On the default there's a single text and an arrow so people can click it to go to the open state that contain more info. The closed state is clicking the arrow again to close and go back to default. However, the issue is that the arrow doesn't change to defalt state cause the open arrow remains instead. I have made two different arrows but it never follows the states. I've tried not linking the arrow and link the text instead but with no result. Also, there's no way of adding text to the open state cause each time I click the open state to edit it the whole thing skips back to default state! It's so annoying. I'm unable to just select a state and STAY there to edit it cause when I do that it ALWAYS goes back to default and the right section of the UI leaves the states section and goes back to design mode. I only get ONE chance to make the states and that's it. In addition to this I'm often unable to pick states when linking in prototype mode, instead all I get is artboard options. And yes, I have states to link in the document. This whole states section is so buggy.

I know your gonna ask if I made components and followed the steps etc etc. All I can say is YES.
