There seems to exist a bug with the node tool when using topological editing. Some screenshots are attached.

Please follow these steps:

• create a new shapefile polygon layer
• activate following snapping options via Advanced Configuration:
  Snapping
  Avoid intersection
  Topological Editing
• Add polygon feature: triangle, beginning with lower left corner (A1), then lower right corner (A2), finally upper corner (A3)
• Add polygon feature: square overlapping with the triangle (overlap will be deleted due to snapping options, so a second triangle will remain): set a node in A1, then make a node inside the triangle, then a node in A2, then the last node somewhere down outside the triangle (see screen_01.png, the first polygon is the upper one)
• vertex tool (current layer): try to set a node on every available edge

Results:

• vertices at lower left and upper right edge are set correctly (see screen_02.png)
• setting a vertex at the common edge: a green cross appears at the vertex, but no topological error is reported (see screen_03.png)
• setting vertices at lower right and upper left edge causes topological errors (invalid geometry, see screen_04.png)

This errors do not appear when working without topological editing. When you draw the polygons without overlapping, the error appears at the common (screen_05.png) and at the upper left edge (screen_06.png).

@TomNog can you try with QGIS 3.10?

It works well, thanks a lot!
