Triggers on the stack resolving before we can respond
I had a Rotting Regisaur in play, and one card in hand, which was a Creature with Flash. When the Regisaur's triggered ability went on the stack, it didn't pass priority to me, and immediately discarded the card I could legally play, before moving to the main phase, with no input from me.
You should always have the possibility to respond to a triggered or activated ability if you have a spell you can cast, or an ability you can activate.

This happened to me with Dorothea after combat when I had a blink effect in my hand.

This happens with Skrelv. If youre tapped out arena doesnt recognize the pyrexian mana and simply ignores your option to utilize

Having this problem with decayed. Wanted to corpse cobble, but never got the opportunity.

I had an opponent's Sunbird trigger put a spell on the stack, then I was unable to respond to the spell. The spell simply resolved as though it had split second or something. This happened a second time during the game, and I tried to make sure it didn't happen again. But sure enough, there was nothing I could do to stop it. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that spell that was put on the stack due to Sunbird's trigger should have been able to be responded to. Seems buggy to me.

Might have to do with creatures or lands producing mana conditionally? And/or things like food sacrificing for mana?
I had Faeburrow Elder producing enough mana for me to sacrifice a food, which I needed to do in response to my own spell (to prevent death to life loss), but was not given the chance to respond after putting my own spells on the stack.

Same here, my oppenent had two burgler rat triggers and I had two cards in hand. With the first one, Arena ask me whether I wanted to let to trigger resolve, I did and discarded an sorcery. Now I only had an Ob Nixillis'cruelty in hand which I wanted to cast in response to the second trigger. But Arena never gave me a change! I just discared the card without giving me a change to cast it! That cost me an very important removal spell that might had changed the game in my favor.

Same prob. My opponent activated Ob-Nixilis the Hate Twisted and though I had the mana and Usher to Safety in hand, I was unable to respond to the trigger and save my critter.

This is a bug, not a new feature request. Sometimes, even with full control, triggers resolve without permission, for example, having two wilderness reclaimations and you're tapped out before the first fires, 90% of the time it will fire off the second in sequence without letting you respond between them despite now having full mana to activate abilities and play instants.
Full control should allow full control, even if the game thinks you have no options (important if you're bluffing, otherwise double wild. recs. firing is a dead giveaway to the contents of your hand if you started with untapped mana.)
