I am not an artist or a student. So, I don't find myself using any of the drawing programs or OneNote that much. I wanted to use the Surface Pen for other text input activities such as commenting on this forum. But in my experience, writing a comment on Firefox with pen input is somewhat frustrating. Most of the time, I face one of these problems:
1. The text field loose focus. So, whatever I write won't get posted. When that happens, I have to start over.
2. If the text field is towards the end of the page (such as comment reply), the input panel will appear all the way down leaving no place to rest my hand. Even when I try to drag it up, it sometimes refuses to move.
3. Sometimes, the input panel will jump around for some reason that only it knows.
4. Sometimes, the suggestions provided by autocorrect aren't what I wanted, and it doesn't give me any option to choose what it recognised.
There are few other minor issues as well.
I wanted to find out with what other software do you use the pen for text input? I know some of these issues are because Firefox is a traditional desktop app and it doesn't do justice to blame the problems exclusively on the pen input. But I have faced issue 3 with Word 2016 (desktop version) a lot as well.
