Further settings are "snapping on all layers, to vertex and segment, 10 pixel tolerance").
The exception raises whenever a tiny, but valid polygon (between bigger polygons, area < 0.1m², maximum width ~8mm) is on the canvas' extent. It raises an exception whenever a first point is set, or, if a first point was already set outside this area, whenever some snapping is calculated (whenever the mouse moves).
The layer's CRS is Gauss-Krueger based. The error does not depend on scale in this CRS.
Setting the OTF-reprojection to a UTM based CRS makes the error appear only in scale 1:5000 and smaller.
Setting it to EPSG:3857 (google Pseudomercator) makes the error disappear, which may serve as temporary workaround. Another workaround is removing the small areas (toolbox-> v.clean -> option rmarea) before further digitizing.
I think it is a rounding issue somewhere in qgsadvanceddigitizingwidget.cpp. Calculating 8mm in GK based systems and UTM based systems may make a difference, and there is some rounding going on in the file (example) .

Thanks for debugging and the detailed explanation. After deleting all tiny polygons the tracing tool is working properly. I've assigned the ticket to Saber Razmjooei (see http://www.lutraconsulting.co.uk/blog/2016/02/16/qgis-trace-digitising/).

- Assignee changed from Saber Razmjooei to Martin Dobias
- Affected QGIS version changed from 2.14.0 to master
As mentioned, there seems to be a problem with the file.
However, the trace digitizing tool should show a more meaningful message.
Tested in the master with same result.

Thanks for the bug fix. I've tested the attached file (QGIS 2.14.2) and it works just fine.
