When editing an existing file the first line drawn (or an action taken with any tool) only renders on screen after releasing the mouse button. This does not impact any following actions, only the very first one.
This behaviour only happens when opening an existing file, either via Nautilus "Open With..." option or from terminal (drawing /path/to/file). When creating a new image with Drawing, or when opening an existing file by opening Drawing and selecting it with the Open button, the bug does not appear.
Further observation is that after the first action is taken the window title changes from Drawing to *name-of-the-file, not sure if this is relevant.

Steps to reproduce the bug
Open an existing image file, either from Nautilus using Open With... option and selecting Drawing or from terminal, e.g. drawing /path/to/file
Select the pencil tool (the issue presents with other tools as well)
Click and hold the mouse button and draw a line - line will not be visible
Release the mouse button - line will now appear, window title will change
Click and hold the mouse button again and draw a second line - this time the line correctly renders as it's being drawn
All further actions work as expected and render correctly
On my system this bug presents with 100 % consistency when following these steps.
