Are those volunteers writing software for their own personal 
gratification, or are they writing it because they want other people to 
use it?

Yabbut ...

It's hard, but fixing paper-cut bugs is important. If we want LO to be 
good software that is widely used, ignoring bugs like that is a good way 
of losing users.

That's why I cursed blue murder when I was forced to switch at work from 
WordPerfect to Word, and I don't think the situation has improved much 
since then. :-)

Maybe create a GSOC project that is "fix papercut bugs"? It would 
certainly be very valuable ...

Jus sayin' :-)
