Might be: Could be a subconscious indicator of prior trauma now trying to surface, could be an issue with finality/closure (so leaving things "open"), or could be forgetfulness and a need to work out more (so you can close things...). If it is causing distress (even if hers...Will share & soon be yours), not unreasonable to speak to a licensed counselor or psychologist.

ADHD?: One of the surest signs of ADHD in my patients is leaving my door open as they leave. It's part of a greater syndrome of distractibility, lack of follow through, disorganization and impulsivity. There are many tests and diagnostic questions available to therapists to assess this.
