[ID-4243320] Incorrect cursor movement in RTL text when Harfbuzz text shaping is used.

InDesign version: v20 (both Mac & PC)

In right-to-left languages ​​(Hebrew & Arabic) the cursor movement went crazy:
- Left key - goes up
- Right key - jumps to the end of the line...
We can't work that way

Note: both (23\25 indd) set to 'Visual' in preferences > right-to-left > cursor movement (of course, changing the setting to 'logical' doesn’t solve it)
