Lost Temple bugs
I have encountered two bugs in that mission.
The first objective is "occupy all pressure plates", with one for every mercenary. Usually a pressure plate is activated after a character ends their move on it and then ends their turn. The advancement bar advanced accordingly for the first two plates (we played with 3 players). But after the third and final plate was occupied and the respective player ended their turn, the bar didn't advance and the event didn't trigger. The round wasn't over: next came a character who already occupied their plate in the previous round. The character didn't move (all actions foregone for lack of event), ended their turn, and then the event triggered.
This is probably as intended - the event occuring only at the end of the round where the conditions are met - but then the objective is wrongly worded.

Second bug: the player ally named Fish is shown to performs a "move, then melee attack" ability each round. But Fish did never move, even when enemies were non-adjacent and reachable. He did attack though, when enemies were adjacent.
Again, this is probably as intended, but then his ability card is displayed wrongly.

Not sure about the first bug, but the second point is not a bug as long as Fish was already standing on his pressure plate. He does perform a Move and Attack, but his move is always to move on to the pressure plate if he is not already on it (if hit by an enemy Push, for example); then he'll attack anything adjacent.

Pressure plates by default trigger at the end of the round.

@Fish: I see. When considering AI behaviour, I always think: in the board game, I'd have to do this, so how would I do this given the known rules (I only ever played digital). So here the board game seemingly delivers this additional instruction, omitted from digital, creating confusion and bug-suspecting.

@pressure plates: I don't think so. I remember scenarios where one character moved onto a pressure plate to open a door, then the next character (same round) could pass through the door. Maybe that was wrong, but I don't think so.

Yes, pressure plates might do something immediately when you stand on them if the special rules say so. The default is the end of the round.

As for Fish, yes, if you were playing physically you'd have rules to tell you how to move him. But the computer handles that here.

It's a really weird scenario. Expect the unexpected, and try to enjoy the experience.
