I realized that the code posted above (coauthors_wp_list_authors) is listing the first 8 authors. There should be another 10.
I have tried removing both options or even just removing show_fullname but the full name of authors is still displayed. I have added the option for limiting the number of authors (number=20) so that all the authors will display or even just a one as a test (number=1) but neither affected the output.
<?php coauthors_wp_list_authors('number=1'); ?>
WordPress version 3.4.2.
All other plugins deactivated for testing purposes. (Had no effect either.)
Oh, I haven’t looked at that function in a while. I’ll do some testing. Do all of your users have the role ‘author’ or do they have other roles as well?

For testing purposes, I removed coauthors to see what the regular WP code would do. Then I did an option with the numbers as well.
<?php wp_list_authors('number=1'); ?>
With no number limitation, “all” of the authors were listed, it did not cut off after a certain number. However, as expected, the authors who are co-authors only, i.e., do not have any post solely to themselves, are not listed. Additionally, the total count of posts for sole authors excludes their co-author credits, i.e. if an author has 10 sole posts and 1 co-authored post, the total count list should be 11 but it is only displaying 10 since it’s not calling upon the coauthor plugin. When using the number option, it limited output as it should.
This leads me to believe something about the plugin is ignoring the number option in wp_list_authors and is doing the default “list all authors”. Rather, it’s cutting off the list of authors.

All only have the role of Author.

Downgraded back to 2.6.4 for the meantime. All authors listed with this version.
I think I see what’s going on. I’ve filed an issue and will have this fixed in the next release.
how can i downgrade back to 2.6.4?
I don’t recommend downgrading. I’ll have the next release out within a week.
I’ll hold off until then. thanks daniel!
apologies, but i believe i need some help with this. this is what the code looks like on the loop-single.php for me. what areas do i need to modify with “coauthors_posts_links” in order to get the plugin back up and working well? if you can help me with this, i’m pretty sure i’ll be able to figure out the other small areas that might need modification. thanks again daniel and sorry for the trouble!
<?php if ( get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ) : // If a user has filled out their description, show a bio on their entries ?>
<div id="entry-author-info">
<div id="author-avatar">
<?php echo get_avatar( get_the_author_meta( 'user_email' ), apply_filters( 'synch_author_bio_avatar_size', 60 ) ); ?>
</div>
<div id="author-description">
<h2><?php printf( esc_attr__( 'About %s', 'synch' ), get_the_author() ); ?></h2>
<?php the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>

<?php printf( __( 'View all posts by %s <span class="meta-nav">→</span>', 'synch' ), get_the_author() ); ?>
</a>

Decided to upgrade back. Now at v3.0.4. Still having the issue.
Using:
<?php coauthors_wp_list_authors('optioncount=1&show_fullname=1'); ?>
Returns the first 15 authors only. I don’t have that many total, less than 20, but still more than 15. Did something change where I should change the code on my end?

No worries, found the issue. Dug into co-authors-plus/template-tags.php and changed the number limit for authors. Just posting this in case anyone else has the same issue.
Rather than changing the value in the plugin, I’d instead recommend passing the ‘number’ argument to the function:
<?php coauthors_wp_list_authors('optioncount=1&show_fullname=1&number=20'); ?>
