That's extremely odd - with my Samsung Tab S4, if I pinch zoom in, then draw with the stylus, it immediately starts drawing. I can't figure out how to reproduce what you are seeing. Which display mode are you using? 

Thanks,
Mike

UPDATE:
I tested with all four display modes and still don't see any issues. Is anyone else seeing this problem on their device?

I think I pinned down the (my) "problem": 

If the Tablet enters annotation and I first set down my palm to steady the hand the first stroke is not drawn. If I immediately set down the pen and draw without setting down the palm the first stroke is correctly drawn! I think setting down the palm should not lead to skipping the first stroke.

In Version 2.9 the feature has been introduced that the pages will not be changed when in zoomed view. This helped a lot to not accidentally switch pages when viewing and/ or annotating and getting confused... But now pages are again changed even when in zoomed view....
