Not a major issue but something I have run into a couple of times with 2.30.

If your squadron's CO dies during "transfer to base" you can no longer close the squadron box and the game shortly locks up.

Not a real problem since it is very rare but kind of peculiar.

Problem has been there for several versions, Matrix just hasn't been able to fix it due to it being a random thing but they're aware of it. I've leaned to always save my games before transferring units due to this probem. Would hope they get it fixed soon or hopefully by WITP.

Isn't there a work around where you can type Esc or another key to close the box?

You can get it unlocked but then game won't continue the turn so the only way to get it restarted is to exit the game altogether then reload. Reloading the turn won't work if you're still in the game, you have to exit out then come back in. It is a minor annoyance since it only happens when a unit leader is lost.
