Yes that happens. I guess you have let the robot interact with the table and object, where the counter force gives the robot a very very small (but not 0!) speed. The dynamics simulated in Gazebo is not that perfect so the robot probably never stops.

By the way, this is also part of the reasons that I post this question.
