### Expected Behavior
Screen reader should announce the updated row and column information only once per resize action.
### Actual Behavior
When the user resizes rows or columns in the “Launch” grid, the screen reader announces the updated row and column information twice for a single resize action. This results in redundant feedback and creates confusion for screen reader users.
Example: If we change the size 118 then screen reader announce '118-118' twice.
