Default Falling out of Reverse Gear

This past weekend we were doing some spirited driving. After about an hour we pulled into a lot to talk about the next leg of the trip. The first two times I tried to put the car in reverse to pull out the lever popped out of gear while letting off the clutch. It held on the third try and it hasn't happened since. Anyone else have this happen?

I've had it happen on other cars, but not on the spyder yet.
Usually if you pick another gear first, and then reverse, it engages completely. As opposed to neutral directly to reverse. My r8 is notorious for this...

Reviving this thread, I noticed the same thing on my 2014 CS. When the car is in reverse or 1st gear the indicator window is blank, after I get into 2nd gear it works fine from then on. Any ideas???

Ok I see now how it works, after about 5 mph it comes on which is ok but; I think it should come on when you engage it in gear specially reverse...
