This has been tested both in Notepad++ and Notepad.
When invoking the readAll command NVDA does not continue to read if there more than nine blank lines and text follows.
Example 1: Paste it into Notepad.text d is not read:
this is a small text.
text a
text b
text c

text d

Second example: Paste it into Notepad and read it again.Now it should work.
this is a small text.
text a
text b
text c

text d

I can not reproduce it in Notepad. NVDA reads also the text d after a ten blank lines. Which speech synthesyzer are you using? I am not sure if this is caused by synth, but maybe it is. Can you try eSpeak?

No amount of blank lines up to 18 at least seems to stop it on Sapi4 or 5, speech platform or svox pico either here.
There has to be something else going on I think.

Sorry, ten blank lines are required.
Festival synth was used.
But true, using nvda with Espeak does not produce the effect mentioned.

Maybe its the driver then, which is quitting it. Maybe there is or needs to be an update to this file.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_Speech_Synthesis_System, the last stable release of the Festival speech synthesizer was in December 2014. Evidently, as previous comments seem to suggest, this issue is specific to Festival, whose development seems inactive. Unless we can get active Festival devs to cooperatively investigate the reported issue, I would like to kindly suggest closing this ticket. @ehollig

this indeed sounds to be specific to Festival and needs an external fix.
