So after playing with it a lot more, I can definitely confirm that the update screwed something up for me.
Touch is super sensitive and selects things while scrolling AND there seems to be dead spots now. I read that some of you had the dead spot issue and the update fixed it but it seems like it created the issue for me.
Looking into reverting back to 4.1 because this is becoming HIGHLY annoying. Besides, I'm not noticing a big difference, if any at all, with the update (minus the issues)
