TouchWiz is a bit laggy/glitchy at times:

If you are feeling that TouchWiz is but laggy or glitchy sometimes, boot your device in Safe mode and check how it’s working. If in Safe Mode it’s the same as it was, try clearing your system cache.

Fix Galaxy Edge S7 line on screen flickering:

The best way to diagnose this issue is to put your device in Safe Mode. If a culprit app was causing this issue then you need to check in Safe Mode. If your device is working fine in Safe Mode then the issue is because of an app, boot your device in normal mode and remove all the recent apps you have installed.

If you are running a custom ROM, I would suggest backup your device and download the stock ROM for your Galaxy S7 edge. Once you flash the stock ROM you won’t be seeing Galaxy Edge S7 line on screen flickering.

You might seem to have no luck then take it to the nearest Samsung service center and get it fixed by experts.
