Using org-beamer (Emacs 27.1, Org mode 9.3).
I have one slide that does not use columns, and one bullet point has a footnote. The footnote exports with an Arabic-numeral numbering style (1).
Another slide uses columns to position a graphic to the right, and one bullet point has a footnote. The footnote exports with a lowercase letter numbering style (a).
Two things are surprising:
- Why does the numbering style change?
- Why does the footnote number reset to a?
I suppose the logic is to maintain separate footnote indices for columnar vs non-columnar output... but... to me at least, it seems undesirable. Is there a way to disable this feature?

* Section
** Example with bpm
*** Here, we already run into a /gotcha/.
- We need to convert a beat value into ms.
- I made an abstraction for that: =[tempo2ms]=.[fn:165f14b418382cff]
** Sync to barline
*** Left :BMCOL:

**** How?
- Subtract small value.[fn:f0c72cc12c9e6ae]
*** Right :BMCOL:

:BEAMER_col: 0.45

Here would be an image. Text should reproduce the issue.
* Footnotes
[fn:f0c72cc12c9e6ae] This footnote displays as "a".
[fn:165f14b418382cff] This footnote displays as "1".
\footnote[frame]{This footnote displays as "a".}
instead of\footnote{This footnote displays as "a".}
to get the same style for footnotes in columns.minipages
to create columns and minipages do traditionally have a different footnote style in latex. You can for example try this example with the standard article class:\documentclass{article} \begin{document} test\footnote{a} \begin{minipage}{5cm} test\footnote{a} \end{minipage} \end{document}
