The reason I was using this workaround code in version 2.x is because LimeSurvey counts the hidden questions when calculating the progress-bar, so if you have a 10 question survey with 90 hidden questions at the end, the progress-bar will show 9% when you're at question 9.
However when you enable 'Show "There are X questions in this survey"' it does shows the number of questions - excluding the hidden ones. So it would show "There are 10 questions in the survey" - which is correct from the participant perspective. It is inconsequent now.
I tested it and version 3.13.2+180709 counts hidden questions for the progress-bar calculation, and not for "There are X questions in this survey". Do you think the way the progress-bar handles it, is a bug?
Would it possible to change the 2.X progress-bar workaround code so the works with version 3?

What was the conclusion: All kind of hidden questions should be not counted? What about hidden by css?

When we have hidden by css : the hidden system can not be really used in Question by question mode (shown only an hidden question), and in group by group mode : hope we have another question in same group .
But : if we have hidden by EM : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=13835 system : we have same difficulty than "relevance equation".
I see only : relevance (or hidden) equation set to 0 to fix it …
