NVDA does not always read off-screen content on web pages.
To repro:

  1. Go to mail.yahoo.com and login with your username/passwd.
  2. If you are not automatically transfered to the classic version, click on the "Classic Mail" link at the top of the page.
  3. Display the list of messages in your inbox by either choosing "check mail" or pressing ALT+SHIFT+2 if using Firefox.
  4. Right underneath the checkbox that allows the user to select a message there is a link that allows to either flag the message or clear the flag for a previously-flagged message.
    This link has an off-screen text that either says "flag this message" or "clear the flag".
    NVDA totally ignores this text where other screen readers don't.
