Apple Pencil / Notability / weird lines Hey, so I have this weird problem where my Apple Pencil makes a straight line while I writing in notability. You can see it on my last sentence. I wanted to write „barrier“ but half way through my r‘s got „shaky“ and a line appeared next to it. I am running iOS 12.2. I didn’t download the new iOS 12.3.1 yet. (I have the new iPad Air 3 and it is only 1 month old. My Apple Pencil is new too)

apple pencil 2nd gen glitchy in multiple drawing apps since ipados 15.5 update I use a 2nd gen Apple Pencil in procreate and sketchbook, and also in Nebo (note taking app). Since the 15.5 update, random stray lines appear while I’m drawing or taking notes. This happens frequently. I have tried the following: unpaired and then paired the pencil, shut down and restarted the drawing apps, uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, shut down and restarted my ipad. I also tried using a family members pencil thinking maybe it was my pencil that was the problem. The same thing happened with the family members pencil. Anyone have suggestions or experiencing the same thing?

Thin vertical and horizontal lines across iPad Screen while using apple pencil While using the apple pencil to write, thin lines that I did not draw appear across the screen. Sometimes vertical, sometimes horizontal. Often also in conjunction with the line that I'm drawing being interrupted, or with dots appearing randomly across the screen. Restart does not help. Replacing the tips of the pencil or the entire pencil does not help.
