Propane will not spit out the open hose. When I pull a tank out to fill it, I never turn the other side off. The design is so that you can pull and swap a tank without taking the system off line.
Also, when one tank goes empty, the red indicator is supposed to display. You need both tanks full for a green indicator. Red tells you ONE tank is empty. Although it is possible when swapping tanks around like you did that the green indicator would pop up. But I don't think it will stay that way for long.
I suggest you let the automatic change-over valve work as it was intended. I know some guys won't, and insist on leaving a bottle turned off. But there is no good reason to do that IMHO.
I always find this statmet interesting, as my indicator goes Red/Green!
