By "freeze-jump-freeze" do you mean when you lift the pen off of the tablet far enough and point to another part of the tablet, the pointer jumps to that part of the screen instead of traveling there like a mouse would?

That's supposed to happen. I'm not sure why, but thats considered a feature. when you lift up the mouse and drop it somewhere else, the pointer doesn't move. If you lift up the pen and bring it down somewhere else on the tablet, the cursor will jump to the pem's new location.
