Comment 1 for bug 927898

> Self-compiled Inkscape 0.48+devel r10923

Due to various refactoring of the snap code in current trunk, you need to activate a specific node snap option (e.g. cusp nodes, and/ or smooth nodes) to have nodes snap to guides and grid when using the selection tool (not required when working in the node tool context, or one of the path drawing tools - pencil (freehand) or pen (bezier)).

Not sure whether this can be considered a bug - as far as I understand, it was an intentional change in how snapping works. Possibly you want to change the snap settings in the default template.
