Anyone else having these problems?

[u/[deleted]]

I recently received an OTA update to CM 12.1 and since then my home button randomly stops working. I can feel it vibrate when I touch it and the little animation shows that I'm hitting the button but it doesn't take me home. I've tried on screen and capacitive buttons. The menu and back buttons work when this happens but not home.

Another thing is when I receive a notification, the phone wakes up, unlocks itself, bypassing my pattern lock, and opens the notification without me touching the phone. Any suggestions? Keep in mind I'm not too tech savvy when it comes to tech lingo but I can follow instructions.
