More of a problem at scrap joins where both scraps have water area fills adjoining is that the hash lines indicating the fill type do not align. I work around this by drawing the entire water fill area on just one of the scraps so that it overlaps on top of the adjoining scrap (they must be in the same 'block' of the map; without a 'break' between them). Turn 'clip off' for the area fill so it extends outside the scrap border, overlapping the other scrap and appears as one area fill on the PDF. I often use this deliberately to hide colour differences at scrap joins where I am colouring my scrap backgrounds by altitude. The water area fill is always blue in my layout so it hides the contrast between adjoining scrap colours (circled in red in attached graphic).
