Android Central Question

Had my s8plus for about 4 months now. And ive always noticed that the certain areas of the screen would not allow me to perform the hold function on that part of the screen. For example, on the homescreen almost a whole row of apps opens when i hold them not opening the mini menu. Also on my keyboard the backspace key can not be held down as well as the keyboard row starting with z and ending with m.

I think it has some thing to do with the software as i can draw lines through these areas with a drawing app for example proving the screen can recognize a hold. But i can never start any lines in the "broken areas"
Anyone have an idea of the software that may need to be reinstalled or deleted?
