Beamer footnote to definition term printed twice

Beamer footnote to definition term printed twice

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

I'm using Org mode version 9.1.14 (9.1.14-1-g4931fc-elpaplus) on Emacs
25.1.1.  When I add a footnote to the definition part of a definition
environment thus

  #+TITLE:     MWE

  #+LATEX_CLASS: beamer

  * What's up

     - with[fn:1] :: the footnotes[fn:2]?

  * Footnotes

  [fn:2] OK

  [fn:1] Huh?

and export as a beamer presentation, I get the following footnotes:

  1 Huh?
  2 OK
  1 Huh?

Every thing is fine if I just export to article.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Cheers,

Loris

Hello,

Looks like in both cases the exported description is identical:

#+begin_latex
  \begin{description}
  \item[{with\footnote{Huh?}}] the 
  footnotes\footnote{OK}?\footnotetext[1]{\label{org9240374}Huh?}
  \end{description}
#end_latex

The issue seems to be that the article and beamer classes are 
handling footnotes differently. Removing 
\footnotetext[1]{\label{org9240374}Huh?} removes the duplicate 
from the beamer export, but then the article export is missing the 
appropriate footnote.

We should be able to patch the export code to ignore the extra 
\footnotetext when exporting to beamer. 

Cheers,
