Put usernames in the options such as “Which bug to fix next?” Option: “hyperlinks in quotes reported by @Lorne_Kates”
When voting, click on any part of the poll with @Lorne_Kates in the text
Your click will silently get eaten and not registered as a vote
Especially dangerous if someone doesn’t realize the UI changes after the click, and assumes their vote has been registered. If there’s a poll with multiple options, but only few or one with a username in it, it will bias that poll AGAINST that option.
I can half-reproduce it. When I click on a name, I get the user’s card, but it doesn’t register the vote. So it’s not “eating the click”, as reported, but it’s definitely not doing what the user might expect, and whether or not a user would consider a vote “cast” when they see a user’s card is open for debate.
