I had that problem. In my car it was caused by a break in the spring that returns the interior door handle in the closed position.

Picture of inside of door panel (cropped from a Pelican Parts article and labeled):



There is a sensor (micro-switch) for the internal door handle that senses if the handle is in the opening position and lowers the window. If your door handle feels a little bit loose, try holding it up in the fully closed position. See if the window goes the rest of the way up.

Look here:

...and at the other door related tech articles at Pelican for more info.
