Issue in math cat while using espeak NG #20198

Description

Brief summary

Hello NVAccess team, there is really a frustrating issue in math cat in NVDA 2026.1. While reading any document, In any equation, if there is an upper case variable and if I instantly press up/down arrow to go to next line, NVDA also started to read in upper case higher pitch. This problem is arrising when I'm using speak NG. I prefer speak NG as my primary synthesizer because of its reliability, responsivenesss and speed. But, due to this problem, it is really creating difficulties for me.
For EG: I'm reading a document either word document or HTML document having math equations. I encounter an equation having capital variable. I don't want to read this. If I instantly go up/down, speak ng also reads all the things in higher pitch.
So, please fix this bug. Regards.

Steps to reproduce

  1. I opened word document.
  2. I opened my one physics note from the recents category.
  3. I did the steps which I said above. More you can see in the speech viewer and NVDA logs.
    I used the following word document to demonstrate the issue:
    Kinetic theory.docx

See below for logs and speech viewer.

Actual behavior

Explained above.

Expected behavior

Regardless of capital variable in an equation, NVDA should read the other things normally while using speak ng.
