Anyone else have intermittent issue with the touch screen edges being unresponsive? (self.retroid)

Every now and then I find that anything I need to touch that's close to the edge of the screen won't register the touch - for example, to get to the retorarch menu by hitting the little icon. If I reboot the option often goes away.

I assume it's something to do with gestures?

Anyway - does anyone else have this problem and is there a workaround/solution?

Late reply, but yeah I have an issue for small touch targets along the bottom of the screen. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll usually hold the device vertical to change orientation and then touch the target.

I used to have that problem with my 2+, but so far the 3+ has been quite a bit better handling my touch input. What handheld are you using?

I also have that issue in some emulators. Some always show the small gesture bar on the bottom. When I flip the device, so it changes screen orientation and then flip it back the bar is gone and I can click everywhere one the screen.

I think rotating would be the fix for that. It's just annoying that I either have to enable/disable rotating every time - or have it on always. I usually leave it disabled.
