Sticky Starboard Saloon Drawer

The saloon starboard pop up table has a slide out drawer.  Dang drawer sticks and often can't be opened.  In theory, you push the drawer up at the front, that releases the "gravity" catch.  However this doesn't work all the time.  Frustrated and looking for suggestions.

Why is it catching?  Mine has nothing but  detent in the bottom of the drawer.  You have to lift it up over the lip and then it comes out.  Does it have problems lifting up, or is it sticky after you lift it.  Maybe a little sanding could help.  My detent allows the drawer to move about 1/8 inch before it stops, but if the detent were too tight that could be making it stick too.
