Just to clarify, is this happening when you press the P button or shift to reverse? Not when the front sensors are automatically triggered? In the case of the latter, you only get graphic, not camera, when the front sensors trigger automatically by getting close to something in front of you.
I think it should be bug in my case, though I don't care that much.

I'm not talking about automatically triggered case. What I saw is, sometimes I pressed the P button while driving forward or shift to reverse from parking lot, the top view is gone and return back to graph, though I could simply set it back within seconds.

Likely a fault
FWIW - I had a similar issue with my Q7; every now and then it would not do the camera mode on right screen when activated manually or reverse. Brought it to the dealer and it turned into a 2 week event; they tried all kind of reprogramming, new camera and eventually ordered a new computer from Germany. This last part resolved the issue - I’m a SW guy and almost could not believe that this was not possible to fix via software update/reset . In any case - dealer was apologetic and gave me a loaner Q7 the whole time.
so bring it to the dealer and be prepared for it might take some time.

This issue is so damn irritating. I have to started to rely on this camera view a lot while parking and its irritating having to go in and manually turn off graphic view

A4s and A5s have the same exact issue, also intermittent. There are threads about this in both forums. It's a really annoying bug. I can't believe there isn't a software fix for this.

This also affects 2018 Q5s. Mine has been at the dealer twice. First time they applied the TSB, second time they called Audi & followed their directions. So far - no luck. If anything, it's worse.

Yesterday it forgot my setting. I changed it back to camera. Today it did it again. I think if you go into reverse too soon after starting the car, the cameras are not ready so it thinks the hardware is broken, goes into graphic mode, and re-stores that as the default. I have an appointment next week, but the service guy claimed that he has never heard of this problem. Is that likely no one else at this dealership has this problem?
