Brush tool randomly stops working properly

Hello,
I'm an illustrator working for a company. I draw on a Wacom tablet and use Photoshop. I mostly use the brush tool. The main problem is that sometimes (this is random) the brush won't correctly register. I will only get a point at the start of the line and nothing more. In the past Photoshop would register the start of the line and the end of the line and would draw a straight line between them, even when I would zigzag. Now it only registers the beginning. The pressure is also registerred because I can see the point changing while giving more pressure, but it will not move from the startingpoint.
I have added two clips to show it.
BRUSH-01 (one example):
- I'm using an inkpen
- After panning the command malfunctions
- The pressure is still registered
- After erasing the malfunction is gone
BRUSH-02 (this one has a cut and two examples):
- This brush changes form by tilting
- After panning the brushshape won't change and is not drawing strokes
- This time I noticed that when I move the pen far from the screen and back the malfuntion stops
Summary:
- The problem always happens after panning
- The problem stops after using a different function like erasing
- The problem happens more frequently when the drawingfile gets bigger
- The problem happens with all the different tablets I have used
- Wacom CIntiq 13HD
- Wacom Cintiq Pro 16
- Wacom Cintiq Pro 24
- Wacom Cintiq 22
- The problem has been happening on many different wacom drivers. The last driver I had NOT had the problem was v.6.3.30-6. This driver is to old for my current tablet unfortunatly so rolling back will not solve it
- The problem has been happing for several older Photoshops at least since 2018
- The problem happend on different systems too
Here is a summary of my system:
- Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
- 10.0.19041 Build 19041
- HP ZBook 17 G3
- Processor Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1535M v5
- Nvidia M4000M; driver v.461.09
- Wacom Cintiq 22; driver n. 6.3.41-1
- Photoshop 2021 v. 22.1.1
