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 too have been having this issue and only resolve is to reboot and it is just a band aid fix.  I am using a homebrew gaming machine with lots of CPU\GPU\RAM\NVRAM performance.  I use this tool for drawing half my work day so it is important and prefer the UWP over the desktop app.  I factory reset about 4 weeks ago in hopes to resolve this and it did work for a while until a few days ago.  Rebooted and was fine until today again.  Memory leak in the code or what?  Really wish they could resolve this.  

    BTW: also tried another notebook and MS account and still the issue persists unless i reboot.

    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.

    There is a solution but I think it might not be for everyone

    SOLUTION: Factory reset your device to fix OneNote Windows 10 app, but if you don't want to, OneNote Office 2016 still works perfectly fine.
