Touch screen misreading touch commands

[GreighWolf]

Hello,

   I have a bit of a problem with my droid's touch screen. Anytime I touch one thing (Example the U turn arror [Escape]) something on the left side is triggered (while in widescreen position). Tried the same thing and the Current Running programs opens up (as if you were to touch-hold the "Home" icon). After awhile, the entire touchscreen fails to react to any commands. After reboot (via Notes 6 and 7 below), the screen works fine for a few seconds before it presents the same problem as annotated above. Physical keyboard operates properly (including the directional pad). Any guesses as to what may be the cause?

Thanks!

usually the battery pull cures alot of things that occur to the android phone.
