Trying to grok how Orca commands work by reading
the ChangeLog entries, is probably not the best approach.

I suggest looking at the Orca specification.
As you are downloading Orca from SVN, you can find this at:
.../orca/docs/doc-set/orca.html

Where-Am-I is documented in section 3.15
The speaking of selected text that scans multiple line or
paragraphs is specified in section 3.15.1.2
In short, you will need to double-click Numpad+Enter to get
this.

There is also a bug In Orca with Evolution w.r.t. this
functionality, if there are multiple lines selected and
the line that has focus is a blank line. I will add that
as a comment to bug #400716 where this work is being
tracked.
