Description
Using Cairo variable, in this sequence, "فَعَّل," the medial ain will not connect to the lam. The shade (0651 + 0643) intervenes and sets in the wrong position.
**To Reproduce**
In InDesign (perhaps other programs as well), key or copy/paste the sequence with Cairo variable loaded and applied. Then Unload Cairo variable and load Cairo Regular static to see what the corrected sequence.
**Expected behavior**
The shadda should be centered above the ain.

**Additional context**
