Car stays in gear as though it's in sport mode but it isn't

Here is a strange one, my car sometimes stays in gear too long, or drops down just like its in sport mode but it isn't. Putting it in park and back into drive sorts it out. Anyone had this? I've recoded it doing this and have mapped the speed against gear ratio and it's either one or two gear lower than when it's acting normal.

I used my phone to record a video of the speed and current gear whilst my wife was driving. I have a 'normal' behaviour and 'abnormal' behaviour recoding. This enables me to demonstrate the issue to the dealer and show a speed v gear difference using a spreadsheet! It may sound obvious, but using your phone to capture theses things which are intermittant is a good way to prove there is an issue. Just got to get to the dealer for them to review.
