Whenever my Galaxy Tab S9 FE 5g is charging, the screen acts very strangely. Often it is like I'm double tapping when usi g my fingers.
It makes it difficult to use. For exampke unlocking the screen doesn't work. Tapping to play a video in YouTube often causes it to immediately pause. Pressing the back button takes you an extra step or two.
Looking on the Internet, this appears to be a know issue that hasn't been resolved.
Are there any plans to fix this in the next update or perhaps the one after?

I own an s9fe but the non-5G model. I have never seen this issue occur with my tablet.
Have you recently installed the latest OneUI8.5 update that came a couple of weeks ago ?
Where are your sources on the internet that assume this is a known issue and more widespread than just your experience ?
I will monitor my tab later but I certainly have no known functional issues like this.

I can literally unplug the charging cable and it is OK, but as soon as I plug it in, it plays up.

@Robyn99: Please can you try heading to Settings > Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity > Ignore repeat touches, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Let me know if this helps.

There is a chance someone with an S9Fe+ might also have seen the same and have a solution, but this is not a replacement for customer services.

@Robyn99: Did you get a chance to try the 'ignore repeat touches' option? I understand that it may not be a general dexterity problem, but this may still serve to resolve the issue.
If not, then please try plugging the tablet into another wall socket or, preferably, plug it in at a friend or family members house to see if the issue persists. This is to eliminate the possibility of faulty electrics which might have poor grounding. You should also try connecting to a home computer via USB to address any issues with your existing plug adapter, as per the above.
