Go back and read the earlier discussion in this thread. The reply was that
there were known to be problems with "say all". Your other problem with
missing text while reading with the cursor keys was not reproducable.

There aren't many Orca developers, unfortunately. If you want to encourage
more people with Python and programming skills to get involved in fixing bugs,
I'm sure everyone would welcome it, and the bugs would be fixed more quickly.

The bugs need to be addressed. I don't think there is any wider issue as I am
satisfied that the Orca developers have acted in the best interests of the
community. When there are few resources available, it's always a difficult
problem of ruthlessly prioritizing the available time and expertise.
