Newbie: Smooth sculpting tool acting strange

Support Modeling
1

Hi

My ‘smooth’ sculpt tool was previous working in the correct way, i.e. smoothing across the area you click and drag along. However, something seems to have changed and now when I click and drag along a surface, it applies a change only to the area I initially clicked, not the entire area I dragged along. Any ideas?

Let me know if I have not explained this clearly enough.

Thanks,
Ben

What happens if you do this?

.Create new scene
.Add cube
.Tab into ‘edit’ mode
.Ctrl + W > Subdived (10 times)
.Go to sculpt mode
.Select smooth.
.Sculpt cube.
