Troubleshoot straight lines at start of stokes

Overview

This problem happens on Windows due to some interaction between the Windows Ink system and an application that uses the pen.

It manifests during the start of a stroke where as you begin the stroke nothing will happen at first - you pen tip will move but the stroke does not. And then suddenly the stroke will move to where the pen is. This will produce a small straight line.

It will also manifest as a small delay when first moving a slider. As you move the pointer with the pen, the slider will not move for several millimeters and then suddenly snap to the location of the pen.
