OneNote shows weird line when drawing (also lags when drawing) Huion Kamvas Pro

Hi everyone,

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I have a link to a video showing the issue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VqyMS33GUQ&feature=youtu.be . 

This problem only happens when using my tablet's pen to draw, if I switch to mouse mode, it works fine. I also experience weird lag when using the pen, which you can briefly see in the video.

I really enjoy using OneNote and I don't want to stop, however if I can't get rid of this bug I have no alternative but to find another program. Here are some things I have tried to fix the solution.

  1. Reinstallation. I have reinstalled the product, event completely removing it through powershell then reinstalling it by following some guides, the issue persists.
  2. Looking in settings. I have looked through the settings enabling and disabling multiple options to no avail.
  3. Starting a new page/notebook. I have tried starting a fresh page, and the problem still persists.
  4. Messing with tablet settings. I have messed with my wacom tablet's settings, recalibrating the touch pen and everything but nothing seems to work.

The exact tablet I'm using is this: https://www.amazon.com/HUION-KAMVAS-Pro-Sensitivity-Bar-15-6inch/dp/B07S7BCTWW 

If anyone could point me to a solution I would be very grateful.

    I am experiencing exactly the same problem.

    The funny thing is that it only happens when I use pens or highlighters with solid colors.

    If you try and use those pens with the sparkly patterns on OneNote, the line won't appear.

    So far, this line issue appears on OneNote, PDF Reader (app from Microsoft store), Drawboard PDF (app from Microsoft store),

    but does not appear on Foxit Reader, Adobe Acrobat, or Xodo. So, I suspect something might be wrong on the Huion's side.

    I'm having this same issue -- occurs in OneNote and Word but not Whiteboard.

    Would love a solution!

    Best,

    Andy

    I have a similar problem and found a solution that worked for me.

    My Setup: OneNote Desktop (MS Office Suite 2019); Huion HS610 drawing tablet; Up-to-date Win10 PC.  -  The tablet is working in other apps.

    Problem: I tried to draw in OneNote and experienced poor performance; lag; strange app behavior and a OneNote crash.

    Solution: I closed OneNote > opened the Huion Tablet app > Re-checked (turned on) "Enable Windows Ink" > "Apply" > Opened OneNote > PROBLEM SOLVED!

    This worked for me. I hope it helps someone else.

    P.S. You will probably need to turn OFF "Enable Windows Ink" before using graphics programs. Drawing apps must be closed when making changes in the Huion tablet app.

    Hey Dee.Seo, I've just about given up on trying to solve this, and have just stopped using OneNote since the devs haven't mentioned anything in the FeedbackHub, and it doesn't seem like they care about fixing it. But, I would suggest that your conclusions point to the issue being a bug in the program and not with Huion, because if the tablet works fine in other apps, but doesn't work correctly in OneNote, then that's definitely an application bug. I have also noticed that the issue does recur in some other apps, but if you use the tablet with Krita, or Photoshop, or even paint, there is no problem :)

    Hi Gabe,

    I had the exact same issue on a Surface Go in OneNote and Sticky Notes, but not in Whiteboard. Uninstalling the last two Windows updates (installed a few day ago) solved it for me. You could give that a try to see if it fixes your problem for now.

    Best Regards,

    Luc
