I got rid of my bar end shifters for that reason, climbing out of the saddle I occasionally caught the shifter. Then I moved to downtube shifters, once you've got used to reaching down it's really no hassle.

Not common, I probably let it happen more than it should. More frequent when the front rack is loaded and I'm not paying attention.

Only sliightly annoying thing with my bar end setup is that the lever touches the TT and changes gear if the bars swing around.
