Yikes! That is a masochist way. Try "snap to vertex" mode. Drag a vertex
with Ctrl and Shift held down. If you drag it close enough (0.1 unit) to
another vertex (don't forget that that means - the distance in 3D space,
not in screen projection), it will automatically snap to this vertex.

Apparently because you're creating non-planar surfaces. Another reason
could be a bug in JED - if you enter X,Y,Z for vertex manually the normals
aren't recalculated (fixed in next version). Save and reload level to work
around it.

The best way to stop it is not to use adjoin operation at all. Build
levels with combination of cleave and extrude.
