Door handle works on second lift up

My 2001 986 has a driver's side door handle problem that has slowly gotten worse over the past few months. After it has been locked and unlocked (key or remote), I have to gently 'jiggle' the handle a little bit in order to hear/feel a small 'click' that tells me that a pull up will open the door. Otherwise, the first pull up acts as though the car is still locked (even though the window drops a cm), but it will open on the second pull up.

I am now extra careful to try the jiggle technique first, because the two-pull method is putting extra wear on the window motor as the window moves down even on the first non-opening pull.

Sorry if this is a repeat of a common theme, but I've looked through a lot of 'door latch' issues and none seem to be quite like this. Thanks in advance!
