world composer opentype
InDesign 19.4.0.63, two different Mac Studio M2, MacOS 13 and 12.7.4
1 - Create new document
2 - Go to Parent, in either page of the default spread, create a text object
3 - Add TYPE -> ADD SPECIAL CHARACTER -> CURRENT PAGE NUMBER
4 - Select all, change font of this text object to Minion Pro
5 - Finally, change it to SMALL CAPS
6 - Add PAGES -> add over 100 pages
RESULT:
- IF the Composer is set to ADOBE PARAGRAPH for that text object,
- it will appear fine on page 100... the three digit number is properly small caps. ELSE if the Composer is set to ADOBE WORLD READY PARAGRAPH for that text object,
- small caps disappears after the third digit (the ones-place ZERO in "100") on page 100 and continuing into all other pages after 99.
- BUT if you add any character after the variable text(Special Character), the format for the third digit corrects itself. Literally as you add more characters before the new-line, the format changes at the start of the paragraph character by character as well.
You can have the composer set differently for the EVEN versus ODD Special Character Page Number in the spread and see the difference side by side in spread view.
Attached GIF shows two images explaining the setup and result.
This appears to be identical (but manifests differently) to this bug:

In long form books, as you can imagine, page numbering is unreliable past page 99. Need to fix! Thanks
