Re: [Gimp-user] [Gimp 2.8] Pencil Cursor doesn't move with mouse cursor

That is correct.  A recent update to libcairo (not GIMP per se) resulted in a cascading event scenario in 
GIMP (also Inkscape) when rulers are visible and the tablet pen is moved too quickly:

    redrawing the ruler inside the mouse event handler, which is pure evil."

It has been patched in development versions, but in the meantime toggling image rulers off should be a usable 
workaround.
