That's probably not a bug. See you have set 768 ms as stabilization time. This means the points painted will be the mean of those you actually drew during the last 768 ms. That's a huge time frame and fast movements are going to be cancelled or heavily deformed.

For most uses this param will be below 100-200 ms, which are already very high values; maybe raising it only for special things with very few curves. The scale is not the same as in the weighted smoothing.
