Primary digitizing tools do not work in QGIS 2.6 (create and divide polygons by hand)

Original Redmine Issue: 11764
Affected QGIS version: 2.6.0
Redmine category:digitising

I try to use the digitising tools in QGIS 2.6 in the same way as I did in QGIS 2.2 (creating new polygons, dividing already existing polygons, shanging the shape of polygons). None of these actions work any more in QGIS 2.6. The whole process seems to freeze, while doing this. It also starts the digitizing process randoomly at the map, and not where I put down the cursor.

fresh project? did you checked your snapping options? does it happens with any layer in any project? can you attach sample data?

Very much thanks for your Quick reply!
It is a Project that I started in QGIS 2.2.
I changed the snapping option according to this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xl0qdmaHRg
including marking the box for topological editing and increasing the snapping tolerance.
but the digitizing Tools still works very awkardly (freezes etc)
There are many data layers in my project, but I send a file one of them (originally a forestry database in which I have included my own parameters). For this specific file I tried to divide some of the polygons, without success. I have also tried to create new polygon layers by making polygons by free hand, also without success.

your vector has nothing strange. The problem is probably in your snapping options, if for any reason they got mangled stepping from 2.2 to 2.6 then you should be able to reconfigure them without much effort. Please give it a try and report back.
