Comment:

 @Guss77 thanks for the report. I could specifically reproduce the issue
 when I first switch from “Your latest posts” to “A static page” while the
 “Front page” and “Posts page” are both empty (see [attachment:static-
 front-page-without-selections.png]). This scenario isn't possible when
 setting these options on the Reading admin page. This intermediate state
 is possible, however, in the Customizer. The easiest fix is to replace
 `'is_front_page'` as the `active_callback` with `function() { return
 is_front_page() || is_home(); }`.

 [attachment:37653.2.diff] seems to be a better fix for this special
 condition for `is_front_page()`.

 Can you confirm this is the scenario you're experiencing?
