In more simple terms, the result of this problem is hearing the entire contents of the chat list, from the start, and having NVDA lock up for a moment before I'm able to do anything else, including stop speech.

This would suggest that the message which was the last message when the chat opened is no longer present when the screen next updates. I don't know why this would occur, though the fix for #3616 might fix this. Regardless, it probably makes sense to avoid reading new messages if there are more than, say, 10 in a single update, as reading this many just isn't useful.

Yeah, I can't quite figure out what causes it to lose its place, but I host a pretty big skype call out of my living room and it sometimes gets a lot of messages, so I've taken to toggling speech off and scrolling to the bottom to make sure this doesn't generate a ton of spoken events. Regardless, the message limit was what I was going to suggest. It seems like reading only the last 10 is a pretty workable solution, and it's doubtful that this many would come in at once. If they do, perhaps there could be a message spoken saying "xxx lines were skipped".

NVDA should no longer occasionally spuriously read a large flood of Skype messages (perhaps even an entire conversation).
