    I've seen this problem with: Myriad Arabic (various weights), InDesign from CC2015 to CC2021, and with lines of text in Arabic that have any of:
    - index marker
    - anchord object marker
    - are a footnote
    It affects placement of the various dots, hamza etc (diacritical marks in European terms).
    The problem disappears if you can move those markers to the beginning of the text line. It also disappears if you remove the marker (obviously not always an option).
    I was able to work around the problem in a footnote by starting the text with a soft return and then setting the leading there and on the next line to nothing at all, bringing the text back in line with the footnote number.
    Please fix it, as it occurs only rarely and it takes me half an hour to remember that I've seen the problem before somewhere!
