Steps to reproduce:

Given you are using an external monitor And you are on google.com on Chrome And you search for e.g.: facebook When the page with results are displayed Then NVDA reads differently from what is being hovered

Actual behavior:

e.g; in the screen shoot what has been read was Google Play although the actual text is section below

NVDA

NVDA1

NVDA works properly on same scenario while browsing through Firefox

Expected behaviour:

NVDA should accurately track and read the displayed content when hovering over options text on a webpage. I've come across issue #6598, which shares similarities with the problem I'm encountering. However, it's worth noting that since this issue doesn't affect Firefox, it could be a separate matter.
