ID v 19.3 Arabic version: When using drop caps, the first character after the drop cap is dropped out (missing) in an exported pdf.

This seems to have gotten worse in 20.0. I'm now losing either the left-most or right-most Arabic character on export to PDF in multiple situations.
This is a huge problem!
The only workaround I've been able to find is to print the file to postscript and then convert it using Distiller, but that creates complications with finicky printers and is a huge waste of time.
C'mon, Adobe. There are bugs reported on this forum that are DECADES old and not fixed. If I can no longer rely on InDesign to accurately output what it's showing me on screen—the most basic function!—why am I even using this program. I'd be better off going back to QuarkXPress.

I'm looking at the file for a client and have the same problem. I fixed this by changing the space between the drop cap and my first character to an en space. Now the PDF contains that missing character. It would be good, however, if Adobe can fix this without a runaround.
