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.

    This is extremely disappointing. I was planning to go check out the SP4 at the MS store this weekend in the hopes that this issue was resolved. I'd love to get one to replace the SP3 I sold (still using my X201t), but I will not if this issue remains. The change to pressure sensitivity gave me hope that they changed the electronics significantly in the pen.

    Good for you MasCaritas! I bought in (at a large price tag) to this device for the pen capabilities, but without them it's just another ho-hum laptop (at a large price tag).

    I'm not in a position where I can follow suit at the moment (though I for sure want to), but as [whatever-higher-power-you-all-respectfully-pray-to] as my witness, if this company doesn't get it's act together before the next product cycle: I will wholeheartedly jump ship to anything else.

    hello everybody,

    what I did after trading in my SP3 a few months ago: I sold it at a still reasonable price because MS refused to refund for this "broken by design technology"

    Instead they spend money on marketing a pen functionality that is not even there... anyone has the link to that ad, you know which one I mean?...

    and by the way, here is what n-trig said
