Something is wrong here. In all my years of using gas stoves, never did I
see one where the flame changes due to another burner lighting. You may
have a gas pressure problem, or a restriction in the piping.

Given the size of the burners, the stove is a cheapie, but it should still
not do that. If it is the regulator on the meter or piping to the stove, a
new model will not be any better. Get it check out. Often your gas company
will do it for free or low cost.
