My corner...just this one...is refusing to clean-up..the walls are the same wall, really, and they used to clean up so I don't know what gives. If I apple-I (intersect, right) them, one just LAPS over the other; if I alter the display order, the lapping changes. The only maybe-clue I have is that one of the walls gets three pink edit-dots when I select it, and the other gets but two--perhaps indicative of some other difference? I dunno...quite weird...many thanks, as always, for troubleshooting hints...

the three pink dots indicates an offset for positioning the wall. One had no offset, the other, a 1-1/4" offset. Why they couldn't heal up, still dunno, but changing one so that both had the same offset set it up to work immediately.
thanks for your patience...!

You may also want to check to see if any elements on a layer turned off have the same layer intersection number as one these walls are on.

Try hitting (F7 on a win machine - clean wall/beam intersection mode on/off)
I just turned mine 'off' and it did what your describing.
Thats the first place i would start.
It's great that you're new to the community and want to help, but try to make sure your answer is at least relevant to the problem at hand.

Another case might be that your walls are of different height or at different elevation - check it in 3D.

The prev. wall problem is solved, but I ran into this one, which is similar. I've checked all of those variables, and all looks good in all regards, and it actually views perfectly in 3D. But, weird. I'll send a 2nd post with the ref lines. Thank you~
