Brush rendering offset glitch (fixed temporarily by switching brushes)
When drawing with a calligraphic brush in Adobe Illustrator (latest version via Creative Cloud on Windows), with Wacom Cintiq, the stroke appears visually offset by several pixels from the actual path.
In Wireframe view, the path is in the correct position, but in normal preview mode the rendered stroke is shifted.
Interestingly, if I switch to a different brush (e.g. a basic non-calligraphic brush) and then switch back to the original calligraphic brush, the rendering corrects itself and the stroke aligns properly again.
The issue seems to be document-specific: when I create a completely new document, the problem does not occur there.
System info:
OS: Windows
App: Adobe Illustrator (latest version via Creative Cloud)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti
Screen/Pen: Wacom Cintiq
Notes:
This appears to be a rendering issue only, as the underlying path remains correct in Wireframe view.

Thanks for your answer! Yes, actually this was the case. I have eventually also noticed this and recreated a much smaller canvas. I will proportionally upscale it when it comes to print preparation.

Just to be sure, Zsuzsanna, — are you sure you are not in the Large Canvas mode? To check this, try to create an artboard larger than 6000 mm — if Ai allows this, you have a document with an internal scaling coefficient (Ai warns about it with a ⚠️ when a document like this is created, but not alter).
Brushes are known to misbehave with the mode, as reported here: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/41713246
Also, please attach a test document with both brushes used.
