No unfortunately it's still doing the same thing. From what I've been reading elsewhere, this is common with n-trig, I'm hoping microsoft has the resources to fix this,but I haven't seen a patch that fixed it yet.

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.

- Also, please verify that you are using new Surface Pen AAAA batteries when drawing and testing this issue.
Regarding your main concern, as shown in the following article “by recalibrating your screen you can ensure that the tip of the pen truly matches up to where you expect it to be on the screen”
