Did you choose out of the solid fofs? (https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Linedef_types#Floor_over_floor)

How the turns have tel- tab-
This happens a lot in maps, though I don't know why :/

That's a fairly common clipping issue with the game, but unfortunately there's not really a known fix (at least, that I know of). You could try lining the sides with thin invisible FOFs, but that might just end up looking weird in-game.
Just out of curiosity, though, is each sector with the FOF in it a single contiguous shape? If not, it may help to do that, and maybe divide each sector into convex shapes? I dunno if either of those would help (and unless there's some geometry outside your screenshot, you're probably even doing both of those things already), but it ...might... do something?

If this helps, here's the geometry for the fountain:
Almost every sector in that screenshot except for the square in the middle is in use with either a regular FOF or a water FOF.
As for the other screenie, it's not really too complex but it wouldn't hurt to show off the geometry for that too:
Only the red highlighted sectors are in use.

I guess I can put this here because it's sorta related to the general topic at hand...
Basically I've been having trouble with this FOF problem since Day 1 of my map. Basically it's a regular FOF, nothing too special but when I was dicking around with Knuckles, I could not climb down the FOF after a certain height but I can climb up past the point where it prevents me from climbing down. I had checked multiple times and the FOF was setup correctly just in case.
I already had one professional look at this but he said he didn't know how to fix it but if you are reading this, you know who you are but thanks for trying either way. It's the thought that counts.

i don't remember this
I have no actual ideas on how to fix this, but I do know that this same problem happens with the door at the beginning of ERZ3.

Re: Climbing FOF Problem
Well I came to a resolution when I decided to test out Sapphire Falls Zone that has the same FOF setup throughout the whole level and it turns out that you can't climb down the FOF's. Similar to my problem. Thinking it was a 2.1 bug, I went back to 2.0 and tried it again and I still couldn't climb down.
Bottom line, I have no idea if Sonic Team Jr. programmed FOF's to be like this or not but it's not getting fixed anytime soon. As for the graphic errors from the original post, I'm still looking for help on that one.
