The fix of the issue is now available in the latest InDesign 2025(v20.0.1.032). We recommend you upgrade to the latest version for the fix.
If you are unable to see the update, go to the Creative Cloud application click on the context menu on the top right, and click on Check for App Updates.

This is critical!
I have been using the same template for years without this happening, and I can confirm that it now DOES happen even though the only change was the version of InDesign. I can send a file if that helps. In the meantime, here's a screenshot. The "7" should be a proportional lining numeral like the "3" is, but instead, it's being set as a proportional old style numeral.
Thanks!

If it's any help locating the problem, it seems to be related to the recomposition engine. I've had fussy tables in I design for as long as I've been able to make tables in InDesign, but the file I'm fighting with now has all kinds of weirdness happening. Sometimes when I force recompose a page with a table on it, the page is blank after the table and the remaining text flows onto the next page. Sometimes I can get a table that spans two pages to behave if I make the text frame extra wide, but as soon as I resize the frame to the correct size, InDesign locks up. It seems like it's unable to decide whether or not to repeat the column heads on the second page. It could also be having trouble calculating whether or not the footnotes in the table will fit on the page.
The recomposition engine has a number of problems that I've reported on; this seems to be just another.

Looks like this is still open, so hoping my case sheds some light. When I run a GREP search for any character between two tags, text between the tags that includes a footnote reference is missed by the find. I've attached a PDF showing what I mean and an InDesign file that you can test.
I have tried adding ~F to the GREP find (i.e., "[.~F]+"), but that seems to corrupt the find entirely. Just searching for "<u>[.+]</u>" finds the string as long as it doesn't include a footnote reference. If I add ~F ("<u>[.~F]+</u>"), the find fails to locate any occurrences, even those without footnote references. If I then delete the ~F, the resulting find—which matches the original—continues to fail to find any occurrences. Retyping the original find (rather than just deleting ~F) allows the find to work again.
I'm working on a Mac, OS 12.6.3, InDesign version 18.1 (reported as up to date in CC on 2/13/2023).

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.
