Issues with VoiceOver Cursor Tracking on Mac while Hovering over Images

When VoiceOver's cursor tracking mode is enabled for the mouse, it allows the user to move the pointer across the screen and have VoiceOver read the content. However, when the pointer hovers over images, the VoiceOver cursor tends to jump around erratically, causing significant usability issues.

I've attached a video demonstrating this behavior for better understanding.




Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue?

iMac 24″, macOS 14.6
