A320 FMGS Computers "Flip-Flop"

I can't remember where I read that if you switch on both FDs on within a few miliseconds the computers would "flip-flop" (whatever that is) and there would be a dual reset with loss of data or something like that.

However I have observed many crews during the cockpit preparation that always switch them on simultaneously, using both hands. I do it in sequence.

Any comments about this?
and, Does someone know what manual and page this flip flop thing is written?
thanks
