Zoom whiteboard keeps eating penstrokes

I've been using the Zoom Whiteboard (not the physical whiteboard) on my computer with a Wacom drawing tablet.  Unfortunately, something has changed and now my penstrokes are being eaten and replaced with dots.  I believe this is some kind of double click detection or some other gesture.

 

Here I try to write the especially problematic letter "F" 7 times.  It failed each time.

Here I tried to write the simple equation "y = mx + b"

And here I wrote the alphabet and "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" without corrections.

Each of these was done with Windows Ink active and has a little Windows Ink ripple effect whenever it happens.  When I disable Windows Ink, it still happens, but without the ripple and less frequently. 

 

Is this a known problem with a known fix?  It makes it pretty much impossible to use the whiteboard.

 

EDIT:  I accidentally added this discussion to the wrong place, but I don't see how to move or delete it.
