When I set narrow bullet indents, the second line always goes wonky and pushed far out

Question

When I set narrow bullet indents, the second line always goes wonky and pushed far out. When I set it to higher values, they align nicely.

Font is Georgia 6pts, with 7.2pt leading. When I choose any larger font size than 6, it also works.

I have:

No paragraph styles activated
No cell styles activated
No tab styles activated

I’d appreciate any advice on how to fix this. Thanks for your time.

*I realized first line indent is not what I want either, so as you can see below, even with small tab position, the 2nd line gets pushed out:

It looks too tight to fit in a number 2 there. Also: turn on Invisbile characters to check if there is a space or something, that also needs to find space.

As Monika said: not enough space. You can see that the 2 is wider than the 1. You can change the OpenType attribute from proportional figures to tabular figures, then all numerals are the same width.
