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.

    Of course I did. Why would I say that if it didn't work for me?

    I can factory reset mine because I just bought this laptop about two months ago and there's not a lot of files that needed to be backup.

    I think the reason why that happened to my OneNote is I copied and pasted a big drawing file to another section and as of now, I am not experiencing that problem. 

    And btw, I do not work for Microsoft like you said "your consumers."

    Have you actually tested this? I feel like the problem would show up once again after awhile since it seems to disappear and reappear randomly. I'm hesitant to factory reset my device unless I know for certain it will work and never break again haha.

    And I would have to disagree about a factory reset being a solution, that's quite drastic and should not be considered for your consumers. If Microsoft's program has a bug, they should probably fix it.

    I'm having this same problem with OneNote for Windows 10 and a wacom tablet.

    Nearly two months and not even close to a solution? Not impressive, Microsoft.

    I have the same problem on my Surface Pro 4, One Note 2016. There is a terrible lag and funny line strikes in the pen writing input panel. I have gotten rid of it by installing the latest surface drivers https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4023482/surface-download-drivers-and-firmware. But, it eventually returns, then I repeat the process. 

    I have not made any changes to my surface pro for years except allow windows updates. I have used it almost exclusively for taking notes in One Note 2016. However, it seems that these problems started to appear at about the same time I began using Zoom. I wonder if the Zoom program is causing my problems.

    Same issue on my surface pro 3 but my surface book works fine. Used both pens on both computers and they function as expected. Uninstalled OneNote for windows 10 and reinstalled and the issue persist on the surface Pro 3. OneNote 2016 works fine as well as other drawing apps. Additionally, the issue happens in Word and PowerPoint applications as well.
