Surface Pro 3 Wavy diagonal lines when inking

I've noticed a problem with my surface pro 3 that I have not been able to work around.  When I draw a slow diagonal line, it comes out very wavy and jagged.  If I quickly draw a diagonal, it seems ok.  Has anyone else seen this, is there a fix for it?  seems to happen in every application, so it strikes me as potential hardware.

    No, but the just announced Surface 3 has an autofocus rear camera. Different hardware.

    I just attended a public Reddit AMA with the Surface team. Here is some new information:

    Interesting. I know this is out of the scope of this topic but do they mention anything related to the "fixed focus" of the back side camera?

    same problem here. had a surface pro one and loved it, did a lot of great work on it. bought a pro 3 without even thinking about it and the pen has been a nightmare. it's very hard to do any serious artwork on it. most art programs have line stabilization tools so it's possible to suffer through with it. but what a pain. when I get on with customer support they say "have you replaced the batteries? calibrated the pen? we're drawing on one right now and it looks fine to us" it's a bunch of B.S. I'm really upset with Microsoft.
