Just Started a new project and sketching is going nuts. This is the first time I have seen this happen. I have shut down app and restarted several times. Even shut down I pad and started new project and still doing the same thing. Check video below. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you please post your videos this way. It’s much more comfortable to watch if you don’t need to open another browser page for that.

Just post the link as a text, do not format it as a link.
