I haven't tested this on latest CVS, but could you doublecheck that the '#' keyboard shortcut turns both options on? (It isn't in my copy here at work, but it's a couple week's old).
It's not supposed to. Carl made it switch on bbox snapping only, not node snapping. I think enabling both types of snapping may indeed be confusing and difficult for novices - "too much snapping" in selector feels a bit weird. Those who need node snapping can enable it via the document preferences.
On the other hand, now that I think of it, it would be logical to enable node snapping when in node edit tool, and not enable it otherwise (by default, can be overridden by the user). What do you think?
That would be a good idea. Basically, unless it turns node snapping on, '#' becomes rather useless for my purposes. I like thinking of it as a 'Snap On!' / 'Snap Off!' toggle, so there really isn't such a thing as too much snapping. :-)
Fwiw, even with the node snapping checked, I'm still noticing some stuff doesn't snap as it used to. I'll report more once I'm up to a more current copy.
