Current state of touch screen and stylus support

So I'm trying to get back to my "table top scribble a map on a sheet of paper on the pub table" style of game.  The transition to online play has been hard for me. I recently picked up a laptop with a touch screen and a stylus, hoping that I could use that to easily draw maps, move tokens around etc.  The results haven't been great.  With some searching it seems that folks we using these things fine a while ago, about 5 years.  But I can't for the life of me get it working.  It seems that no matter what I try, I can't use the stylus to do any kind of drawing, freehand, shapes, lines or otherwise.   Has anyone got this working currently?  Are there settings I need to change?  I've tried using the touch20 browser extension but it's not been updated in a while, looks abandoned and doesn't work as expected.  I've tried multiple browsers (brave, chrome, firefox, edge) all with the same results.

Hi James DM! I have heard anecdotal reports that some graphics tablets work better than others. I have just tested with my Touch Wacom Intuos on MacOS and confirm that the drawing tools are NOT working for me, either. They definitely were last time I tested. I would suggest filing a  Help Center Request .
Thanks keithcurtis.  I've raised the support ticket.
For anyone finding this topic via a search; Stylus support seems to be working now when using the redesigned UI.  It's actually quite nice to just sketch out a quick battle map
