I have noticed the same issues. It is very spotty. Sometimes I can underline with no issues, other times the screen moves or the underline keeps breaking in between words. I thought it was my Apple Pencil.

The suggestions given in the helpful response do not address the issue. As it assumes the problem is with the pencil and it appears to be an App issue.

It sounds to be a bug in the new Apple update but, have your done a hard restart on the devices after the update? Judging by the device information you included for your iPad, press and quickly release the volume up button press and quickly release the volume down button press and hold the power button until the Apple logo appears then try.

If your iPad won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

After ANY iOS/iPadOS upgrade/update, you should ALWAYS perform a simple hard reset/forced restart of your Apple mobile device.

For iPad models with a Home button, do a simple hard reset/forced restart of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake/power button simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

OR

For much newer design iPad models, without a Home button, try the new simple hard reset/forced restart procedure for the new 2018-2022 iPad Pros, 2020/21 iPad Air 4 and 5, the 2021 iPad Mini 6 and the new 2022, 10th gen base models,

1. Press and release the volume button closest to the top Power button

2. Then immediately ( and quickly ) press and release the volume button farthest from the top Power button.

3. Then, press and hold the top single sleep/wake/power button You will see the Slide to Power off button, but keep on holding down the power button until you see the Apple logo, then let it go.

Once you have performed all the steps, wait for a few seconds and your 2018-2022 iPad will boot up completely to the iPad’s Lock screen.

Best of Luck to You!

I too have the same issue when highlighting, it holds the content and drags the entire screen over. It is quite frustrating. At times I just forgo using the pencil and highlight with my finger. It still does it I feel it’s more controlable. In other apps that have a PDF with the mark up the pencil will drag the screen in the same way. But when you turn on mark up it does not drag the screen.

I have the same problem, with the finger it causes the same issues too. I have uninstalled the app and installed brand new, paired the pencil again, etc. but with no result. With the other apps the pencil works properly, so it must be something about the app working after a recent update.

iPad 6th generation

Pencil 1

iOS 16.5

BTW my specs are:

ipad (7th Generation)

16.4.1 (a)

Apple Pencil Gen 1

I am also experiencing the same issue. I thought it was just me until my frustration took over and felt obliged to google how to troubleshoot.

I have an iPad mini 6, Pencil 2, OS 16.5.1

PLEASE HELP!

Just did a hard reset. It did not resolve the issue.
