Hi,
Thanks for your reply
I will try to put in all the logging I collected when doing the switchover.
I did the following:
1. Check if the standby is uptodate
   I ran the following query on the standby:
       SELECT pg_xlog_location_diff(pg_last_xlog_receive_location(), pg_last_xlog_replay_location())  AS replication_delay_bytes;
   This resulted in 0.
2. I shutdown the primary instance 
   and checked the alertlog of the primary:
< 2019-03-08 09:45:31.553 CET >LOG:  database system was shut down at 2019-03-08 09:45:06 CET
< 2019-03-08 09:45:31.554 CET >FATAL:  the database system is starting up

< 2019-03-08 09:46:41.182 CET >FATAL:  the database system is shutting down

< 2019-03-08 09:46:41.357 CET >LOG:  database system is shut down

3. Then i promoted the slave with pg_ctl promote and checked the alertlog:
< 2019-03-08 09:49:55.249 CET >LOG:  selected new timeline ID: 4
< 2019-03-08 09:49:55.369 CET >LOG:  archive recovery complete

< 2019-03-08 09:49:55.391 CET >LOG:  checkpoint starting: force
< 2019-03-08 09:49:55.393 CET >LOG:  autovacuum launcher started
< 2019-03-08 09:49:55.393 CET >LOG:  database system is ready to accept connections
< 2019-03-08 09:49:55.402 CET >LOG:  checkpoint complete: wrote 0 buffers (0.0%); 0 transaction log file(s) added, 0 removed, 0 recycled; write=0.000 s, sync=0.000 s, total=0.011 s; sync files=0, longest=0.000 s, average=0.000 s; distance=0 kB, estimate=29490 kB

4. On the former primary I created a recovery.conf
cat recovery.conf
restore_command = 'cat archive_dir/%f | gunzip >  %p'
recovery_target_timeline = 'latest'
standby_mode = on
primary_conninfo = 'host=newprimary port=5432 user=replication password=xxxx'
trigger_file = '/tmp/instance.trigger.5432'

5. And started te instance on the former primary
   alertlog former primary:
< 2019-03-08 09:53:04.543 CET >LOG:  database system was shut down at 2019-03-08 09:46:41 CET

Am I missing something?
Please advise?
Thanks in advance.

Uh, what? Do you have further info about this? I fail to understand how this is
related to OP question...

While doing a clean switchover, I never seen this (yet).

How are you checking both servers are up-to-date? Do you check that the standby
received everything from the old primary, including its shutdown checkpoint,
before promoting?

Make sure your standby staid connected to your old primary until the later is
completely shutdown-ed. Nothing should disconnect them during the whole
process. And make sure to use mode fast or smart to stop the old primary.

Are you able to share with us the restart checkpoint on the old
primary and the history file created by the new-primary? How far are the
restart LSN and timeline fork from each other?
