Annotating PDF's in Speedgrader not working

I am attempting to annotate PDF's in speedgrader with a touchscreen laptop and a stylus. I select the pen tool but it just drags the PDF around when I try to write anything. This happens with any annotation tool I select. This is very frustrating as I do not want to have to use a separate application to annotate the PDF's and then re-upload them for my students.

I think I've found the root of the issue. I'm fairly certain the laptop I was using won't allow a passive stylus to draw in Chrome or other applications. To actually draw, the computer needs an actual mouse click, and a passive stylus won't do this. I've moved to the Canvas Teacher app on an android tablet to annotate assignments and that seems to work ok. An actual active stylus that connects to the laptop would likely work.
