Question / Help Surface Pro 2 How to record stylus cursor

Dear OBSProject members,

I am using a Surface Pro 2 (did all available updates) and I want to record my handwriting in an app called Bamboo Paper. I have set up OBS Studio (latest version: 19.0.2; 64 bit Windows) and I can record my screen and audio without any problem. But the problem I have is that the stylus cursor is only recorded while I am not inside the app Bamboo Paper. As soon as I enter the app the cursor freezes and does not move anymore with the stylus, but it is still displayed at its last position in the video file. Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem?

Here are my settings for the Screen Recording: Resolution of Surface and record mouse cursor is checked.

It is very strange as Camtasia can record the cursor, without any problems.
