Finding third gear

I've had my '16 2L 3GT sedan with 6-speed manual for about a month now, and one thing that keeps happening every now and then is this: when I'm shifting from 2nd to 3rd, sometimes the shifter feels like it's momentarily stuck on the gate. When I test drove one in 2014, this kept happening on my test drive, and made me select 1st again, and it certainly made me feel embarrassed as I've been driving stick cars since 1994. It happened on my '16 when leaving the dealership after picking up my registration.

Certainly I can't be the only one who's experienced this? I can prevent the inadvertent shifts to 1st, but it just doesn't feel right. It'll happen maybe a handful of times per week.

Apart from this, I love the shifter.
