I had the same issue once. The solution for me was changing the renderer in Krita to something else.

Goto: Settings/Configure Krita…/Display

I found the solution deep down in the vaults of the KA forum: [Pen keeps losing contact to canvas](https://krita-artists.org/t/pen-keeps-losing-contact-to-canvas/20347)

Maybe it helps you either.
