Latency on Floating Channelstrip while writing automation?

In PT12, I regularly write automation during playback with the Floating Channelstrip in the Edit window.
However, I've noticed that my automation lines don't completely line up with where I want them to be in the waveform. They're a little late. Is this is latency issue caused by a Buffer setting or something else? Thanks.

Hello,
there isn't a buffer between the messages coming from the touchscreen (the sensor) and the HUI messages sent to PT.
Anyway, the touchscreen has its inherent latency.
But, can you quantify this "latency"? 1, 10, 100, 1000 ms?
There is a very interesting test which will give you (and all the HW and other-manufacturer-touchscreen users) an objective idea of the performances of the PT automation engine and the various controllers. If someone want to invest/waste time playing with these things, I will explain the experiment setup.

No volunteers? You only need a microphone (low quality too!) connected to your DAW and a bit of time and knowledge of your Audio_Interface/DAW buffer latency.
