Don't know if this has been covered in here, but I'm not sure if this is a bug.

With any airdropping unit, pressing I will give the parachute icon which will allow you to airdrop with 8 squares from a base, ONCE per turn.

However, if you use the right mouse button, click Action... and click Airdrop here you can do this as many times as you want per turn. Of course the -20% hindrance for not dropping into a base still applies.

Is this a bug, and if so, shouldn't it be fixed in the next update?

Yep, known bug. Has been sent out to Firaxis a few weeks ago already.

BTW, is it also a bug, that you can't paradrop into a naval base in your possesion ? I think that should be allowed, especially if the base has an airport.

I don't know if that's a bug. I've noticed it also, and found it is quite annoying (even though I don't use sea bases much. They take soooo long to develop (too little minerals).
