Synthesis stops if I don't sit there and stare at the screen

Does this happen to anyone else? Just saw a pvp video a few minutes ago and the player did synthesis mid fight(not vr) and it didn't stop the synthesis when the screen went back to the cockpit view.
 
I found something similar. In VR when i turn my head the mining lasers would shut off. No particular reason that i could see, all the settings were correct, forward fire only and so on.
What it turns out is that within VR there is an option to have the panel "FOCUSED" by looking at where they are. Doing anything other than stare ahead would change the focus and open another on of the panels and at the same time STOP the action i was currently doing completely. I would imagine this is the same with the synthesis, as you describe having to remain looking at the panel.

When i turned off the auto Focus on panel option and moved back to having to manually open panels, this issue went away. I would suggest you try doing this.

Yup, i can confirm, what Sammerkand said. I noticed this, after re-installing the game. I play without focus controlled panels, but had to reconfigure my controls and ran into the same issues, which went away after switching to manual panel controls
 
So, before VR, my HOTAS had a hat bound to the 4 different panels.
I figured that when I got VR I would modify that scheme to free up that hat for other things, but I was just used to the controls so I left it.
The side effect is that I can use the button and focus will stay on the panel even if I'm not looking at it. It also pops up when I look, but I have the option to use the button.
That should solve your issue.
