footnote reference formatting is wrong
The new version 19 and 19.0.1 shows footnote reference numbers incorrectly When paragraph justification is set to Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It must be set to the basic Adobe Paragraph Composer to work.
The problem is the final digit (if the reference is greater than 9) does not apply the character style formatting defined in the Footnote Options setup, so the last digit is shown as normal.
The same issue happens on running head page numbers with a style applied, but only on the right hand page. It also happens on cross-reference numbers. A workaround is to place a character after the number, which is not always possible.

Still a problem in 19.4; see attached example. If the paragraph uses World-Ready Composer, the footnote reference number is incorrect; if it uses Adobe Paragraph Composer, the Arabic text is incorrect.
The font here is Minion Pro Regular; the Document Footnote Options use Position: Apply Normal plus a character style for footnote reference numbers that is defined as [None] + tabular lining + OT superscript.

This is critical!
I have been using the same template for years without this happening, and I can confirm that it now DOES happen even though the only change was the version of InDesign. I can send a file if that helps. In the meantime, here's a screenshot. The "7" should be a proportional lining numeral like the "3" is, but instead, it's being set as a proportional old style numeral.
Thanks!
