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.

    I'm going to try returning/replacing mine. I've already tried replacing the Pen, replacing the pen battery, factory resetting and re-updating.

    Good luck with that. In my experience all the SP3s at Best Buy suffered the same issue.

    This is precisely the problem I have. Sometimes it works fine and then it decides it doesn't want to work well at all. I've replaced my device (i7 512 GB) twice now and still get the problem. After using my Surface Pro 2 and really liking the pen, the performance with the Surface Pro 3 has been very disappointing. Thanks for the picture, it illustrates the issue very well.

    guess who would want to take a picture of an an a4 handnote....? or businesscards...

    on the bright side:

    the focus is set perfect for taking landscape pictures on very bright sunlight but , good for the dum-dummies who do that with a tablet.....
