pen tool drawing much larger than it should, then shrinking

I'm using a .25 px stroke weight calligraphic pen.

The pen draws the lines as I would like it to, but DURING the drawing operation the pen and line looks 4x as wide as it really is.

When I release the pen, the line then suddenly shrinks to its proper size, but leaves behind some artifacts from when the line was displaying wider. To get rid of them I have to refesh the page somehow, by minimizing and returning or by scrolling the image way over and then back.

Since I am using this illustrator tool to do comics, it is important that I close off the sections properly for shading.

This seeming bug is really annoying me.

I am using illustrator CS2. 12.0.1

Is there a fix for this out there? Does anyone else have this problem or any suggestions for a work around?

Thank you!
