Lag with vector brushes in AD (Mac)

[CuriousPuffin]

Hi,

I tried asking my question in another topic:

But since nobody responded, I'm trying my luck here. 
So, I got a fresh install of AD, version 1.7. And when I try to draw with a vector brush there is a lag between my actual movements and the time it appears as a stroke on my canvas. There is no problem with pixel brushes in Pixelmode.

I use a MacBook Air (2015) runs on Mojave (10.14.6). 1.6 GHZ i5, 8GB/1600 MHz/DDR3. 
So I looked at my settings in AD and unticked the metal compute box. I set the dropdown to OpelGL. I set my document to web-RGB/8 en 72 dpi. But no change.

I also have an old version of Adobe Illustrator (CS5). When painting there with vector brushes there is no lag. So it's not the performance of my laptop, so it seems.

I use a Wacom Bamboo, but also with just the MacBooks trackpad it has the same lag.

Any suggestions for me to try?

Firstly, the latest update is version 1.8.3, I recommend installing the latest update to ensure you have the most recent features and bug fixes.

Secondly, this is a known issue in Affinity Designer and has been reported previously, please see the below links for more info - 

As you're using a drawing tablet, please make sure you have the latest drivers for this also, as newer drivers can occasionally help with performance.

I hope this helps.
