In Scratch 2.0, if the pen is down and you manually drag the sprite associated with it, you don't get a pen trail behind it.
When the sprite glides:
When the sprite is manually dragged:
In 3.0, I'm seeing that the pen does get drawn with the sprite, and it is drawn in very right-corner heavy lines during the drag (but not when the sprite glides or moves due to a block).
The straight lines are from the blocks; the jagged lines are from manually dragging the sprite:
Use pen down, set pen color, and glide to compare when you drag the sprite vs. when it is moved via block in 2.0 and 3.0.

Do we want the pen to draw while dragging sprites? Not present in 2.0.
My vote is no. It could be fun in a few limited situations but it seems like it would add a bunch of questions in others, and I don't think it adds much "power" to Scratch programming or projects. I suspect any project that would use this feature can be implemented in another way without it.
