Kobo Sage Problems:
1. Touches are not registered properly. I touch the "Battery" icon, but the "More" menu opens. While reading a book, I touch the top of the page to bring up the "Back to My Books" option in the top left, when I select it, I go to the "More" menu instead.
Just to check, but the '"More" menu', do you mean the page that should be accessed by tapping "More" in the button bar on the home screen and book lists? If so, it is definitely not happening here. Both of the examples given are working as expected. Do you have patches, NickelMenu or any other hack installed?

3. Extreme ghosting when reading a book and using the Highlight or Search or Dictionary Look-up functions. Multiple lines look darkened/selected until I force a page refresh.
I see this occasionally, but, not most of the times I use these functions. What do you have for the screen refresh option? And it is one of those fun things where people complained about the refresh being triggered aggressively after a look up.

5. System navigation and page turns are still slower than Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen and Nook GL4. I have almost 1000 books on the Nook GL4 and it snaps through them quite quickly. I have about 600 on the PW. The Kobo Sage only has about 250 and I wouldn't want to add anymore.
I don't have any non-Kobo devices to compare to, but, with 1163 books on my Sage, I don't see any issues. It is not as fast as my laptop or my iPad, but, I also don't expect it to be. I can scroll through the book list as fast as I can swipe the pages as fast as I can swipe. There is lag for the cover display the first time, but, that goes away once the cover has been generated. Page turning in epubs or kepubs are faster than I can move my eye from the end of the page to the start, so that is fast enough. I don't read comics except when experimenting, so, I can't comment on that.

No scroll bar when there are multiple pages in my Collections is also a poor design choice in my opinion.
Exactly where is the scrollbar missing? I can see it on the Collections tab and when I open a collection that has more than one page of books.

A couple of you problems make me wonder if the update did not install properly. Try manually installing the update and see if that solves things. Or if there is a difference between behaviour just after restarting the device and later.
