Short description of error
Hello.
I've noticed this problem when I tried the new feature curve draw from master. But the problem also happen with texture paint. I have not been able to verify whether this also occurs with grease pencil. Having pressure sensitivity enabled, the stroke is erratic (it is choppy, dotted lines appear). The problem is most evident when you draw slow strokes. If you draw fast strokes, the problem is less frequent. In the file that I share I tested with texture paint, curve draw and grease pencil. To your left are the strokes drawn slowly. To the right, fast strokes.
The graphic tablet is a Genius EasyPen i405 (UC-Logic WP5540U) using evdev through this generic driver:

The problem does not occur in Windows with Blender.
GIMP on linux apparently works well with pressure sensitivity enabled .
