Unplugging HDMI, Raspberry Pi 5 logging out

Hi, has anyone encountered when unplugging the HDMI from the pi5, the session is logged out? Tried looking around raspi-config but there doesn't seem to have a toggle to disable that. Is there a config file somewhere else to leave the session running or is there something else missed? Thanks

<@235515537151492096> Its just logging out right? it doesnt completely go out?

Im assuming there is some sort of electrical issue with the ports. U could purchase a HDMI hub to prevent those issues so u dont unplug the hdmi directly from the pi. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duronic-HDS3-Switch-output-Switcher/dp/B0020426AG/

(i dont have a pi5 to test it this is just a suggestion that could possibly help u incase no one else has a better answer)

Yeah, it just logs out. We got a hub as per your suggestion, it works fine. Hmm, if it's electrical, wondering if there's a way to test and swap it.

I am not sure if its electrical with the pi5. But there has been pi's where it caused some sort of electrical issue once the hdmi cable was unplugged.

Ok, will revert back to the pi4 to see if the issue crops up. Thanks!
