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.

    So now I contacted the people from n-trig, who are going to "forward this issue to their R&D".

    Now I'm curious what and if the will find out something....

    What's the word from MS on this? Why do we have to wait for weeks for a solution even worse: for a simple comment ???

    I will never buy anything from MS again if this, the non working camera and the exclusion from MS outlook exchange persists...

    I am sure, that many users will do the same......

    In the end I returned my surface pro 3 to JB hi fi and got a full refund. Then I hunted around a local online classified service and picked up a second hand Surface Pro 2 for one third the price of the SP3.

    I miss the lighter weight, the larger screen, better battery life and improved hinge of the SP3.

    I don't miss the pen problems, or increased fan noise.

    Maybe by the Surface pro 4, they will have worked out the pen kinks.

    We really need an official response from Microsoft and a commitment to a solution or fix. This makes creating digital art much more painful than it needs to be on the SP3 and will result in a lack of credibility among one of the key groups of users they are targeting with the device.

    Some news here:

    In the meantime I have tested this with another Surface Pro 3 - an i7-Version.

    The problem did NOT occur on that device!

    So we still do not have a solution, but I have seen and tried a SP3 that works as supposed.

    So eventually there is a chance to fix that behavior.
