UI/UX: please use a scrollbar on the desktop mode poll screen

[JohannesBe]

For large polls it is unclear for some users that there are options on the right.
In my last poll two out of 9 persons missed all extra options to the right of the initial rendered dates.
The +x more... button seems to be a non-user-intuitive way of horizontal expansion.

Thanks in advance for looking into this.

Kind regards,
J

Thanks for raising this issue. I wasn't sure whether this was a concern anymore but clearly there's some work that needs to be done here. This is not a bug though so moving to discussions.

I agree with JohannesBe. This is not obvious for the first time that there is the button for more options, and many people came across with this issue

Thanks for a great project!!!

I want to pitch in that this is still an issue, both in the previous series (2.x) and current series (3.x).

It's not that anything is broken. I like the arrows for pagination, I like how you can sort of see the cut-off in version 3.x, which is an improvement since this was first reported.

Potential fixes?

There are still a couple of strategies left to improve the chances that the user discovers the pagination:

1. Automatically scroll to Page 2 when all options are clicked on Page 1.
2. Indicate "Page 1 of 2" on first page
3. Make a visible progress bar at the bottom that increases for each click. The user will be aware when they have filled out the entire survey, it will be 100%. But if there are several pages, they cannot reach 100% on the first page (!)

In case of 1 and 3, they also require/encourage an explicit click on each option, making the likeliness of the "?" lower for all polls, no matter if they are paginated or not.
