flickering/ghosting keyboard on iphone 5?

When I enter my password in the app store, lines begin to flicker across rows of the keyboard.

Here is an example. This has happened on my last two visits to the app store. The first two or three times there was no problem. This is the only context in which I observe the flickering keyboard. Is anyone else having this issue?

this actually just happened to me today! and yes it was at the password entry screen while downloading a new app to the phone.


at first i thought - uh oh - i have a bad hardware connection with the display - but it's somewhat comforting that other people have had this happen while doing the same exact thing - which points to an easily fixable software solution.....?

There's now way too many people reporting the same issue on exactly the same screen, it's reassuring and worrying at the same time.


Is it possible there's a fault with the screen? Highly unlikely as its not iOS wide, it's confined to entering your password into the App Store when prompted. This should therefore be easy to reproduce by the engineering team at Apple.


If they haven't noticed it already, either way Apple give such great customer service that were in good hands folks Don't worry.
