Description:
A kerning issue occurs in Adobe InDesign 2024 and 2025 when using ligature-supported fonts like Microsoft Uighur Font. Manual kerning adjustments fail to apply when ligatures are enabled. This problem does not occur in InDesign 2023, where disabling ligatures allows kerning to function as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Font Setup: Use Microsoft Uighur Font in InDesign 2024/2025. (I use my personal font)
2. Text Input: Type a word containing the ligature اللہ (e.g., any two Arabic text).
3. Enable Ligatures: Ensure ligatures are turned on (Character panel > Ligatures: ON).
4. Apply Manual Kerning: Attempt to adjust kerning between characters (e.g., using Alt + Arrow Keys).
- Observed Result: Kerning adjustments do not take effect.
5. Disable Ligatures: Turn ligatures off (Character panel > Ligatures: OFF).
- Observed Result: Kerning now works as expected.

Expected Behavior:
Manual kerning should apply regardless of ligature settings, as seen in InDesign 2023.

Affected Versions:
- Broken: InDesign 2024 & 2025
- Working: InDesign 2023

Request for Assistance:
Has anyone encountered this regression? Are there known fixes or workarounds for newer InDesign versions? Testing with Microsoft Uighur Font and the ligature اللہ should replicate the issue. Any guidance or insights would be appreciated!

(Note: Ensure OpenType features are not overriding settings, and test in a new document with default preferences.)
