Is there any certain information about how many people are using it?

The OP posted here.  You can post on their list any time; I already did.
The list was difficult to get rid of because they didn't even manage to
get unsubscribing to work.  Just look at all the top posters and the
HTML junk in that list and you get an impression of what kind of people
are using LO.

Someone on that list really tried to help me, that's how I found more
and more bugs, without making any progress towards what I needed to
do.  Some of what I needed to do wasn't even possible with programming.
Who knows, perhaps over time they might even fix pasting and the scroll
bar in LO ...

Or maybe they did?  Can you finally have the scroll bar on the left?
Can you now make it the default to paste the text only?  Can you
configure it so that pasting pastes where the cursor is rather than
where the mouse pointer happens to be?  These aren't even bugs, only
simple usability issues.
