Swipe gesture interrupted in the middle of the screen
Since a few days I observe the following bug: When I make a swipe gesture on my phone, and my finger crosses the vertical middle of the screen, the gesture is interrupted immediately. To understand what I mean I made a video where the bug is visualized: https://youtu.be/i7llZRXS1Wc
This might be a hardware issue since the phone is two years old and the screen has a small color damage, but I think it is a software bug, because sometimes it disappears for a few hours, but it always comes back.
Has anyone got the same problem?
Edit: Thanks to @coderus and @Markkyboy for their hint with paint app and csd tool. I tried it with both, here are Screenshots from the results:
there is a stripe in the middle where touch doesn't seem to work: In Paint app the thickness of this "dead stripe" can be seen: When I swipe with one finger over the stripe, thw CSD tool interprets this as two finger swipe:
If this is a hardware issue, is there anything I can do or do I have to think about a new Smartphone?
same issue but vertical strip bar, i believe its a combination of a digitizer hardware fault and sailfish not being able to correct it, because numerical pads work just fine but whole screen keyboards and swipe do not.

DarkTuring ( 2016-09-27 01:42:24 +0300 )editI'm having the same issue and it's incredibly annoying as lots of buttons are located right in the middle of the screen and there is no way to press them. Has anybody successfully fixed the screen by the warranty?
