Third gear clicking an extra time?

so I’ve noticed recently that third gear sometimes, more often on downshifts I think, clicks almost. Usually when I am changing gears I feel the resistance and then the gear clicks in. Sometimes with third (and occasionally 4th I think) it clicks twice and I feel resistance twice. A lot of the time as I pull out the clutch I think I missed the gear except I did not; it’s engaged as it should be. It has never popped out of gear or anything either. Everything else is normal.
Any idea what this is? My first thought was I was absent mindedly pulling the clutch too early but some experimenting removed this as a possibility.

If pedal is *all* the way to the floor, before beginning and after ending the movement of the shifter, the clutch disc might not be fully disengaged. Make sure the clutch pedal hydraulics are properly bled and the shifter lever is adjusted.

Note regarding this, even though the reservoir is shared, it is compartmentalized for safety reasons. The braking system is not capable of affecting the clutch system. They are independent.
