Can't place stone ceiling behind stone gate/gateway

[Walzo]

So I'm quite an avid builder, and I notice a lot of annoying small things in the game. One thing bugging me recently is the inability to place stone ceilings behind/on top of stone gateways/gates.. preventing them from being sealed off from aerial entry (2x1 gap behind/at the top of the gateway). The only workaround I've come up with is to build a wall 1 space behind the gateway, and build a WOODEN ramp down to meet the gateway to block it off. However, this is an obvious weakpoint and it feels like a dodgy workaround to something that should function differently.

As a sidenote:

Getting stuck/sliding on the top edge of walls is annoying.

I think there should be a way to re-align walls that become mis-aligned at the base.

Stone walls facing the wrong way round need a FLIP function (RIP looks/consistency... can only paint one side nicely)

Ladders are often buggy re: being able to select climb up.

It would be nice to be able to make windows where the window isn't in the 'centre' of the wall, but at the bottom. (for rooftop sniper purposes).

I can't sign in to take screenshots but our builder was able to make it all connect.

Build the rest of the structure first, then the gate.

The way around the issue of putting a ceiling on top of a gateway that I do is I build my ceilings "toward" the gateway and not "from" the gateway.

You have to build a house with a 2 by 4 space in it for the gate. That way you just go to k mode and place the gate in the opening. It seals off pretty well actually.
