I have a strange problem with my cerb. From time to time the driver’s door open when changing gears. It doesn’t matter if the car is moving or not. If I move around the gear stick, it trigger the door-opener-switch.

Have anybody heard of this problem before? And do anyone know how to solve it?

I've no idea if this is the solution, but I'm just thinking logically....
The door opening mechanism is isolated when the car is moving, ie 'something' cuts in and prevents you from opening the doors.
On the centre console there is a switch that locks the doors to prevent them being opened, this is located near the gear lever, so it's possible that the wiring under there is damaged, or there is a loose connection.
To lift up the centre console - remove the rear 'helmet holder' thingy, undo a small screw right at the bottom edge of the console (on the drivers side approx in line with the Hand brake) and lift it up from the rear.

What should I be looking for? Do you know how to search/measure for the fault?

Just check any wiring in that area, and near the Gear lever, and the wiring going to the 'Door Lock' switch - the one that has a green light on it, just check the insualtion of the wiring isn't damaaged, or any connections are loose.
