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: CSD tool 1 In Paint app the thickness of this "dead stripe" can be seen: Paint app When I swipe with one finger over the stripe, thw CSD tool interprets this as two finger swipe: CSD tool 2

If this is a hardware issue, is there anything I can do or do I have to think about a new Smartphone?
