My Mac Mini is running Tahoe 26.5.
When composing an email message in the Mail app, if I paste text, VoiceOver announces "paste," and then reads the entire text I pasted. The "paste" announcement is new behavior since I upgraded from Sequoia.
Is there any way to turn off the "paste" announcement? It's unnecessary and distracting. Other native MacOS apps don't exhibit the same behavior (notably TextEdit), Messages, and Pages. So it's unclear why Apple felt it was necessary in the Mail app.
