Sanam S, a Administrator from Oneplus, posted the fix for all the touchscreen problems on the forum. The fix includes the latest firmware from synaptics, which caused battery drain a little while ago. But, it seems like they’ve fixed the battery drain issue that came with the firmware. And so, they released a new build of OxygenOS today with the touchscreen fix baked in. But, it doesn’t come as a OTA update, but as a package from the CS which can be installed through Fastboot when you’ve a unlock bootloader.
