I've had this problem also with an old Force CX1 level where if you dump a few gears and the shifter barrel rotates but the mech / cable don't, because the gear cable isn't captive it comes out of the barrel - pain in the jacksie

My wife has a more recent force lever where the barrel is different and the cable is captive and can't come out 

anyone know if Rival shifters have been updated also?

hope that made sense - thanks

I’ve a vague recollection that genuine Sram gear cables had a slightly larger barrel than others so they fitted the shifter? I may have got that wrong though as it’s been a while since I have had to think about such things!

Used to happen to me with rival 1x, I pinned it down to the b screw not being adjusted correctly. When I shifted there wasn't enough tension on the rear derailleur to have it moved, cable got slack and popped out.
