The bug
Squids and glow squids can swim exactly one block above water, which allows them to get on land and suffocate. They don't "fly" far away, they don't "teleport" back in water. They do actually swim.
How to reproduce
Spawn some squids or glow squids in water and wait. Some of them will swim out of water.

Confirmed for 1.13.1.

In my 1.13.1 game there is a river area I visit regularly. There are always squids dying due to this bug - up to half a dozen each time I am in the area. I am always being made aware of this bug.

I see this bug all the time in 1.13.2 and 1.14.

Still in 1.14.1 Release

Still in 1.14.2 Pre-Release 1 and 1.14.2 Pre-Release 2

Still happening in 1.14.3. Have a village that has paths through water and the squids constantly beach and kill themselves on them

This has been going on for so long, I would say just call this normal behavior and forget it.

Sorry to interject, but three bugs older than this got fixed in the last snapshot alone.
I don't really think that the age of this bug is all that relevant to whether it should get fixed. There are thousands of bugs in the game and new bugs getting created with each snapshot. It will take time for some of them to get fixed, and I will be very happy when it is this bug's turn.

Actually, I meant that this has been this way so long that I'm accustomed to it and even rather like it this way. There are bugs that cause more hassles that I would rather see fixed.

Yes, I did get that you were saying that the bug doesn't affect you. Unfortunately for me I'm not going to get accustomed to it and I find it very immersion breaking and irritating to see these broken behaviours occurring all the time whilst I play the game. I've been waiting two and a half odd years now for MC-132473 to get fixed and hoping with each new snapshot that I'll see it listed in the change notes.

I built a house next to a river, everyday since I hear the sound of the dying squid…
I'm kind of accustomed but still annoyed, like I was with villagers playing with doors. I'm accustomed to my annoyance!
I trust the devs, I think it will be fixed, it's only a matter of time.

@miwob It does not duplicate MC-125979. This is a separate issue, based on a different behavior of squids. They don't "teleport" back into water, nor they fly far away out of it. They swim exactly 1 block above water, which allows them to end up on land.
