Bug Description

If I open xournal and draw on the screen, my first stroke is recorded fine.

If I attempt a second stroke, only the initial contact point is recorded, but no further points are recorded in the stroke.

If I *then* click on the "Pen" tool again, the scenario resets; I can record a single stroke, but only the first contact point of subsequent strokes until I select the "Pen" tool again.

What *should* happen:

When drawing, every point of every stroke is recorded, not just the entirety of the first stroke followed by the first point of the second stroke.

0.4.8 works great for me now (touchscreen of HP Spectre 13).
