Yep. Know that problem. The door closes fine when lightly swung shut until the last couple of inches and then itbounces back. The hinges could be mortised too deeply into the frame or into the door, and the hinge edge of the door is compressing into the hinge edge of the frame. Close and latch the door. You should have a uniform gap between the door and the frame on the hinge edge, big enough to slip a credit card (non embossed) into. Or at least an index card, without friction. If not, put a shim under the hinge on the frame or door side or both. I 3d printed custom shims for this, 1.2mm thick. Problem solved. At least that was my problem and solution. Any thin material will do.

I suppose of you really look at it, it looks kind of arched. The top and bottom hinges looks closer to the frame/wall than the middle.
