There are absolutly no checks when you use the rigth-click menu to make air drop. You can:
-drop even if you in not in a city
-drop if you have moved(even when you have no movement points left)
-drop as many times as you want in a turn... (see the world they said )
I am not the first to report this problem here, but it doesn't seem to have gotten any attention

Here is another, tiniest of bugs: when selecting a tech to research (blind tech of) the feature to have the tech quote highligthed doesn't work; soemtimes it highligths when you move your mouse over it and sometimes not

Oh - I forgot one more, also reported before (by me! ):
When choosing a new tech it is tempting to try to brig up up the F1 help. However, this brings up the datalinks *behind* the choose tech screen! But the datalinks has focus, and you cannot more the choose tech screen OR see the close button for the datalinks.

When choosing a new tech (blind tech off), right-click on the tech you want datalink info on, and it'll come up correctly.
