Strange window behavior

Yesterday I had run to home depot to pick up a propane tank refill, and since I used the automated machine outside I left the windows rolled down and the trunk open. I turned the car off, got my refill, closed the trunk, got in, started it and rolled the windows up, but before the went all the way they both reversed and started rolling back down again. This is on a 2012 coupe with 1800 miles on it BTW. When they started going back down I held the switch in the up position until they closed and they stayed closed. I then tested a full opening and closing and it appeared to work correctly. Is this a common problem? I have tried searching but have not found anything exactly like this being discussed. I know how to reset them by holding the switch up for 5-10 seconds after they are closed, but I haven't had to do that and the battery has not been disconnected. I just found it strange and hope it is no indication of problems to come later.

That's only ever happened to me if I unplugged the battery. If it happens again, I think you should take it to the dealer. They might not be able to pinpoint the problem, though.

I have a 2012 with 2400 miles, has happened a couple of times to me, but both times I just pushed it up again and went all the way up.
Hasn't really seemed like anything to be worried about.
