I have also run across this issue. I have been daily driving my PinePhone since mid November and this problem hadn't come up until mid to late April. I had a suspicion it had to do with heat, like a few have here. I suspect for myself the extra heat came from watching youtube on it for long periods of time. I was never rough with my pinephone, may have droped it a couple times before. I have the Manjaro Convergence 3GB Model.
As of late though, there have been at least 7 or so more drops (IDK if this would be the cause). Now the digitizer on both sides of my phone (top-bottom wise) on the vary edge have stopped working. This just happened yesterday. Either they are too far away from the glass and are able to get a signal, or they have ripped somewhere causing them to quit functioning.
If I had cared to look I may have found this thread before this happened and might have been able to prevent this, but as it is, it's too late for that now.
Would it at all be possible to "glue" the screen back onto the glass? or just take it off entirely and reattach it? This is more food for thought then anything else, just curious.
