When I ended my turn, a unit automatically entered a portal as instructed (good). The message box came up asking me if I wanted the unit to enter the portal. Here's the bug: the new turn started with all the action happening behind this message box and I couldn't see any of it. Clicking the "Yes" or "No" answers to the message did nothing to remove the box; they did not work. I could not reposition the box either. Only after all the automatic new turn action was done could I answer the message box.
To complicate things, I also had the tutorial on and it got triggered at the same time so text was scrolling on top of all of this. (Unrest went over 100.) It was very confusing and hard to figure out what was going on.
 
No you can't close the message with escape when any of the action is happening. You have to wait until you've missed it all. It is very annoying. I've also seen someone else in the main thread mention this bug as their most annoying pet peeve about the software. Please fix this.

A related issue happens in multiplayer games when the "Your turn" message blocks events and you can't click "ok" until these events finish. I'm going to log that as a separate bug bug note that it is related to this one as is just as annoying.
 
I get this same issue all the time. The easy way to reproduce it is to have a unit set to move into a portal, such that when you hit "end turn" they will complete their movement and walk into it. The "Do you want to enter the portal?" dialog box pops up, but the action continues in the background. Fights occur, event messages popup. You cannot select either button on the portal dialog until all of this action completes and you get back control. The portal dialog not only blocks the fight action so you can't see what's happening, but if an event occurs, the event dialog will appear *behind* the portal dialog. The portal dialog, being on top, seems to block mouse clicks to the event dialog so you can't click either one (can't click portal because you don't have control, can't click event because portal blocks it). The only out here is to hit "esc" which seems to cancel the event dialog, then do the portal dialog. I end up reloading the previous autosave here and manually issuing the move command to the unit entering the portal so the dialog won't appear during the EOT action.
