    The fix for this issue is now available in the latest update of InDesign – version 16.1

    Please update to this version to get the fix. To prevent problem on existing documents and see the footnotes again, you will have to force recompose the stories.
    To force recompose stories, you can use the shortcut Command-Option-/ (slash) on Mac or Ctrl-Alt-slash on Windows

    I have the exact same problem - I will have to postpone a production that had already been sent to the printers because of this. It is, indeed, a very important bug.
    Just as Alexandre Lourdel reported, InDesign gave no warning regarding the overset/missing text, eventhough the text was included in the document but not shown. There was space for it - it should have been displayed (see screenshots). I have, so far, noted 12 missing footnotes in a document with more than 400 pages and hundreds of footnotes. Everything will have to be double-checked. This is clearly not acceptable.
    I use InDesign CC 14.0.2
