Atomos Ninja 5 keeps turning off Log/HDR Input for Canon EOS R

I am trying to relearn how to use my equipment and was playing around with my Canon EOS R (with the latest firmware) and my Atomos Ninja 5 (also at the latest firmware).

On the camera, I would have 10-bit log set.  On the Ninja, I would go into the input menu and turn on the Log/HDR button (bottom, furthest to the left) and then adjust the other parameters.

Then, as I was randomly playing and poking, testing this and that, the Log/HDR settings would turn off.

At first, I thought it happened when the camera went to sleep and the Atomos switched to "No Input".  I would wake up the camera by touching the shutter and the Atomos comes back to life as well.  But I just tested that and its not when the switch occurs.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this and found when it occurs so I can be more aware of it.  And, of course, utopia would be to prevent it from happening.

Of course, the "solution" is to just check the settings before starting to record but I found it odd that I had to keep turning the Log/HDR setting back on as I played with the setup.
