To answer the question. If you review the control law reconfiguration list in the systems pages, it confirms that L/G down is the cue for the aircraft to enter direct law, and hence the autopilot, if on, would disconnect at that point.

The flippancy of the reply was probably uncalled for, but some of the sentiment is valid. By all means, a thirst for knowledge is great and should be welcomed, but memorising all the nuances of failures in detail - especially in a sim - is not always a great idea and can lead you down the wrong path. Your real life failure will never be the same as what you get in the sim.
There's a reason today that much training is around pilot competencies, with relatively few rote learned events. If you get the competencies right, you can better deal with whatever weird wacky and wonderful things the aircraft throws at you at any time of day and night.
