I'm having trouble with inaccurate snapping in Illustrator CC 2014. Dragged anchor points snap a few pixels away from artboard edges. They also do this inconsistently, i.e., they are wrong in slightly different ways each time. The document has no guides or other objects.
Video of the problem:
Settings turned OFF:
- Align to pixel grid OFF
- Snap to Grid OFF
- Snap to Point OFF
- Smart Guides OFF
- Pixel Preview OFF
- All checkboxes in Preferences > Smart Guides unchecked

I see that you are working with the new Live Rectangle tool, right? In Adobe Illustrator 2014 new rectangles are always live rectangles. This is really cool tool but it has its huge limitation: the live rectangle cannot be properly aligned (pixel grid, smart guides) when resizing/scaling. The only option is to convert it into the paths (using Object > Shape > Expand Rectangle) and then align them to whatever you like.
Many users have noticed this strange behavior. Here are some trending discussions on the official Adobe Community Forum:

0This was a bug with smart shapes (which are default when drawing rectangle) and it is fixed in October update.
