I’ve just noticed an issue with topics that contain a poll. This is on `3.3.0.beta4-dev (a30a861546)`. Many interactions break on what seems to be the entire topic for some topics. It seems to only happen if the topic contains a poll and the poll hasn’t been voted in by the viewing user. Some of the specific things I noticed:

- Polls do not have the button for the moderation menu that lets you do things like close the poll or export results
- The admin actions menu for posts doesn’t appear when the button is pressed
- The admin actions menu for the topic does appear, but doesn’t go away if you tried to open a post menu first
- Clicking on user profile pictures does nothing if you tried to open a post admin actions menu first

These issues all go away on topics without polls and if you disable the `poll enabled` site setting or enable [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) with `?safe_mode=no_plugins`. The following exception appears when loading the site:
