Animate V24 update: brushes working very poorly (EDIT: solved)

Question

The latest Animate update has done something bad to the brushes (both Classic and Fluid). The stroke has become wobbly to the point it's almost unusable (throwback to Flash's awful tools).

And, while I draw, the controur of the stroke is pixellated (or, not antialiased). It softens when I release the Wacom pen, but to see this happening all the time is a bad drawing experience.

Has anybody else noticed this?

I enclose two images to explain what's going on (open them so you can look at the strokes in full size).

EDIT No. 2: I realise that pushing the stabilisation and smoothing to max greatly improves the situation. I never used these settings, or never did so knowingliy, because for many years smoothing in Animate would change the shape of curves too much. I have no idea, now, whether I had them turned on or not prioro to seeing the wobbliness but I guess the finding makes this post of mine useless. I'd like to erase it but alas this is forbidden on this community, so I'll just let it die...

Though, I guess it might help solve the... non-problem, so to speak 🙂

EDIT: I downloaded V23 again (V23.0), to compare, and find the same thing is happening.

I can't seem to get a stable stroke even with V23. Now I'm confused... I know it wasn't like this before. Maybe this post will be useful nontheless.
