Out of curiosity, how are you switching the theme the theme while the panel is open? Are you using some tool to make a keyboard shortcut to this?

I don't use any tool just my mouse. I have Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization window opened and while the control center is opened I click on one off the high contrast themes.

The control center should close when there is a click outside of it (unless you're in a tour). Does it close just before switching themes?
