Yes... Same here too!!! When mobile is immersed in water its display starts not working... When you take it out of water, still the problem persists until you press lock it by pressing lock button and then unlock it...

Is this software bug or is it display problem???

There is no bug,no display issue.Water does this to the digitizer.It needs some time after taken out of water until you can use it again.

The screen will work with few drops of water but not a lot, I've tested this, it seems that small drops its ok, it will work just fine but if the screen its water saturated it will stop working, which is normal.

if you don't want to use the shutter you can use an app like this

and use the proximity sensor
