NVDA announcing the title of the dialog twice

Hi All,

Hope everyone is staying safe and doing well!

I wanted to check if any of you have encountered the issue where NVDA reads
out the title of the dialog twice when the focus is on any of the
interactive elements inside.
Like the example from the link below, where an alert dialog is displayed
upon activating the discard button, NVDA reads out the title of the dialog
twice.

https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-practices/examples/dialog-modal/alertdialog.html

From what we have tested, this seems like a problem with NVDA, as JAWS
announces the title of the dialog only once.

Does this require any specific fix/hack for NVDA or is this something
common with NVDA that we can bypass.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks,
Sudheer
