When freehand path drawing (pencil tool) gets intercepted by snapping, it became almost useless. Try this, the simplest case: In new document turn on "Snap to page border" only and switch to pencil tool. Start drawing outside page and then head toward the border itself. Wait until first snapping starts and continue drawing inside page area.

When we've hit the pageborder, the low-pass filtering will kick in. The problem is that it will stay enabled as long as you keep the mouse button down. I will solve this.

Next one. Try attached .svg file. Grab lower object by placing pointer at X-like drawn hole, click and gently move up to touch upper object. I get no snapping.

That's at least partly because Inkscape doesn't snap smooth nodes by default any longer. Please look for that new option on the second tab with snapping preferences. At least some nodes should snap now, but that might only have been part of the problem. It still looks like some nodes are being excluded.
