Request for disabling math cat speech while in an equation in Microsoft word while pressing left/right arrow #101

Hello! in NVDA 2025 versions, I use math cat for writing and reading mathematical equation. One issue I want to report, in Microsoft word, while typing an equation, to check, if I press left/right arrow, NVDA is everytime reading the entire equation. This is causing disturbance. For EG: I'm writing equation in unicode. I pressed Alt+Equals to popup the equation editor. Then. I pressed / and hit space to create the fraction. To go to the numerator and dinomerator, if I press left/right arrow, NVDA is reading the math cat speech "The fraction with numerator, empty and denominator empty". This is causing disturbance. Not only in fraction, this is happening in every equation. When I'm writing an equation, if I press left/right, NVDA is reading the entire equation everytime. So, my suggestion, while in an equation, pressing left/right arrow shouldn't speak the equation because this creates disturbance. In the document, while pressing up/down arrow, if any equation is encountered, NVDA can read the equation. I want the same reading which JAWS does to read the equation in Microsoft word.
