I spoke to apple support on this and they set me an appointment at a store where the associate tried to restore my phone, it failed twice so she replaced phone with new one on which some paint was already gone so i rejected that then she got me another one . In this one i did not face the issue so far

This is now actually a common issue for ALL iphone 5's, a new one won't fix it. It's a software glitch that randomly happens in the App store when the virtual keyboard is up. It happened to me once out of the probably 50 times I've been in the app store so just because you haven't seen it with the new one, it WILL happen again until Apple fixes it with an update.

I've had two phones, the first replaced due to a scratch on the screen, and both have this problem. I think spending time exchanging your phone for this screen glitch is a a waste of time. Just file a bug report with apple at http://bugreporter.apple.com/.

Alternapop, how can you say exchanging your phone for this screen glitch is a waste of time ? There is no way anyone can be sure this is not symptomatic of a larger problem...

because of experience and my profession...

Apple has just released iOS 6.0.1.

This update contains improvements and bug fixes, including:

- Fixes a bug where horizontal lines may be displayed across the keyboard
