Hey berewin,
Can you try the beta please:
In the past few months, we have made so many changes to pen input. This beta changes a few things and adds multiple input options from the Preferences > Tools. Have a play with those settings and see which one works for you.

This means that you should not attempt to use it for commercial purposes or for any other activity that may be adversely affected by the application failing, including the total loss of any documents. We hope you enjoy the latest build, and as always, if you've got any problems, please don't hesitate to post a new thread in this forum and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Fixes
Fixed tablet input problems by reverting the default input method to be Low Precision mode, the same as in 1.8.3.
