Summary15884: If Equation Question is hidden, it should not be included in Question count
Description

According to the Limesurvey - DenisChenu answer - until 2.73 a hidden equation question did not contribute to the question count.

This would be great to be able to include survey logic without scaring a user off with a ridiculous number of questions, just because there are a lot of formulae.

I find that equation and text-display questions are not included in the count regardless of whether they are hidden via question settings - so far, so good.

However, other questions (like list-radio) are always included in the count, even when hidden via question setting. I think this should not be the case.

See attached screenshots and .lss file.

I agree that text display and equation questions should not be counted any way. Because this leads to the mentioned problem that a user who actually answered all "real" questions may see the progress bar at 70% only because of several follow up hidden equation questions used for some calculations.

In addition, questions hidden by the related question attribute shoul also not be counted.
