Description
There have been multiple issues opened against how Narrator handles the display in Calculator. The best approach would be to implement a value pattern on the display rather than using the automation name.
This deliverable should resolve the following behaviors:
- Double reading "Display is..." when the display has focus
- Announcing the "Display is" prefix every time a key is pressed
- Not announcing display value when a key press does not result in a new display value

Research direction
Start by locating the Calculator display and its Narrator/UI Automation behavior. Reproduce the listed focus and key-press announcements, then verify that the display exposes the intended value behavior without duplicate prefixes or announcements when the value does not change.
