That same thing happened with me! I didn't realize it was something that anyone else noticed until my T brought it to my attention and I was shocked that someone else could tell when I took that mental pause to somewhere else. It's become such a norm for me though it's hard for me to say how often I do it. I do lose time, large parts of days and I don't have a clue as to what I did that day. So I think it is still happening. Mindfulness does help with it though, if I can remember to stay in the present.
