Brief description of the issue:
ATC is sometimes missing the first number in my name.
My plane name is 1978 and ATC sometimes call me 978.
It is of course written 978 in the ATC window.

Not a bug. That’s an abbreviated call sign.

Not uncommon in real life to have that happen.

Tower will identify u with your plane type and the last 3 digits of ur tail number a lot… in real world too… thats normal…

That’s interesting, I was sure it was a weird bug because it seems completely random when they’ll either call me with 1978 or 978.

Frequently, the first call to you from any ATC facility will be your full registration number and all subsequent calls are just the last three of your registration.
