Do you have a screen protector? Poor quality screen protectors have been reported to have similar or even worse effects than what you describe.

Yes. I saw a case worse than yours with a faulty protector. The phone would lag and crash and it was all just because of a poor quality screen protector registering hundreds of ghost touches.

Viruses don't exist on Android, and malware on Android don't behave like the way you describe.

My phone is doing the same thing and is doing this with and without the screen protector. I have the edge version and it I think it's more of a software issue as when I touch the screen it starts stuttering a bit when I stop scrolling but the effect disappears in a few seconds.

Depends on what you are scrolling. It's possible for this to happen if you're scrolling faster than the page loads on websites.

It's not just when scrolling, it's when I touch the screen and something can be moved, even when moving an app shortcut on the homescreen if I hold my finger on the screen it will start to stutter, but this can be seen only when I have moved my finger and stopped after that, and few seconds afterwards the stuttering stops.

Just had to write and say thanks for your posts. Was having the same issue, and hadn't for a moment considered it would be the screen protector.
In my case I think the protector was just worn, as I still had spares and, after taking the old one off the phone works fine with a new one installed.
I use Spigen Crystal protectors and would recommend them as this is the first time I've had any issues in 2 1/2 Years, and the last one had probably been on the phone for over a year.
Thanks again.
