Power trunk lid opening

Power trunk lid opening
Hi - I've noticed lately that after opening the trunk on my S6 and closing it again, if I continue to stand behind the car with my key fob, the trunk lid opens again in about a minute. This happens consistently.
I'm certain I'm not pushing the button on the fob or kicking my foot under the car, so there doesn't seem to be a reason for the lid to open.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

This is likely related to the trunk lid foot opener. There's a sensor under the bumper that if you move your foot in a certain way, the lid will open. My 2013 had that feature and the trunk would sometimes open on its own when I walked by the rear fender. I attributed it to an overly sensitive sensor and just had the dealer deactivate it (it didn't work reliably with my foot anyway. Not worth the trouble to troubleshoot it).
