Q: Anyone else have 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?

iPhone 5, iOS 6

    I spoke with one of the techs at the Apple Store late today.  "It's a known problem and a patch is coming within a few days"

    This happened to me today for the first time.  A new app was downloading, while I started searching for another one.  Looking more like a software fix, and I will patiently wait for the 'patch'.....I seem to remember similar things when I got my iphone 4 in the first week (Pain of early adoption I guess)

    Absolutely, I have also noted that few time (not 100%) while entering password i App store...and specially when you switch from Alphabets to Numeric....precisely comes while you are keying in your numeric characters. Does it sounds familiar?

    Im getting a flickering problem with scrolling or selecting that I never had before 6.0.1? I wonder if it is a software or hardware problem.

    If it didn't happen before but is happening now then it's a software problem.  Try reinstalling the OS and open a bug report with Apple if that doesn't resolve it.
