In some way it seems like hardware AND software issue. Weirdly enough I get a lot more tap instead of scroll while on 10 than on 8.1. I haven't gotten a single one of them in two days now when I think of it. I only had the phantom touch issue now on 8.1 pretty frequently but not since I disabled Glance and Touch.
I had very very infrequent occurrences in the past with 8.1 and I have said elsewhere that I thought pushing the SD card holder in seemed to cure it but may have been coincidence. The fault on 10 can start right away or a couple of minutes after booting it, but it is then constant ! Soft reboot sometimes works ... but ( and it is if I can manage to get control in order to do it) a normal shut-down will then give me two minutes use. Another problem that is strange is some words I have to enter twice before they appear on screen the first time nothing is displayed even though it was correctly typed !
I have just done a hard reset and monitored the process carefully. After the initial install the screen seemed very stable for quite some time, it then installed numerous apps such as here drive etc and was still stable. However the next stage is the installation of updates to the apps just loaded, it is after this process that the screen gets possessed by the devil ! I did hard reset twice and the second time I turned off wifi to stop installation of the apps and the phone was great ! Similarly after the apps had been installed I turned off wifi again to stop the updates and the phone has worked perfectly for an hour. Soon as the updates installed the mayhem started again
