This is common with many cameras of the age of the R-4. You could have it replaced, or simply cover the opening with opaque photo tape( the infamous black tape). This is what I have done to three of them. I know this design is a carry-over from Minolta, but as many things as Leica gives it's owners credit for being able to do for themselves you would think that remembering what film you loaded would be one of them.
