I’ve had an interesting issue with my Air 3rd gen, which is most noticeable when trying to write or draw with a pen. I’ll hit dead spots on the screen, where it doesn’t register, but here’s the bizarre part: it’s not the screen. If I drag the document or image up, down, to the side, the dead spot follows it. Meaning the position on the screen which was dead works fine suddenly - the dead spot moves physically around with the position in the document.

i haven’t tested this thoroughly on all the possible scenarios on my device, but it happens annotating pdfs using MS Office, drawing with Sketchbook.

The fact that it spans different programs makes me think it’s an ipadOS level issue - something about the translation between the screen, to an app, and drawing back to the screen

anyone else experience this kind of thing?
