System Information
Operating system: MacOs 10.15.4
Graphics card: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB

Blender Version
Broken: Version 2.90 (2.90 2020-05-20)
Worked: ?

Short description of error
Sorry for the potentially misleading title. I think that when a Grease Pencil drawing is parented, and the parent animated, the erase tool (using control/Alt/Right Click or the Brush eraser) is somehow offset and it's near impossible to erase precisely. Going in Edit mode and Selecting/Deleting the vertices/strokes works though...

Thanks for your report, but this is a not supported feature yet. If you try to draw, you will see the new stroke is moved after finishing the stroke. What you request is to implement an Drawing and Erase (it's a mode of drawing) in "place" using any modifier and/or layer parenting. This is supported for other modes but not in Draw mode.

I have it in my ToDo list but it's something we are not going to implement right now.

Ah ok sorry. I was confused by the fact that it worked in edit mode without issues.
Thanks Antonio!
