This bug has been around for months, I just kept forgetting to report it.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create public poll.
2. Vote in the poll so results are shown. (Or just click “Show results”. I don’t think voting is a prerequisite.)
3. Have someone else vote in the poll so the arrow appears underneath that poll option. ( ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/e/a/eace230cad343d19d91b2eeec3047a31291ddafc.png) )
4. Click on the arrow. This causes the new voter to be shown as expected.
5. Have another person vote _for the same option_ in the poll.
6. Click the arrow again. This time, nothing happens.

Can’t you refresh the page and have it work fine?

Yep, that works fine. That’s why I kept forgetting to report it, since there’s such an easy workaround. It’s still a little weird to have the icon show up and not work though.
