Narrow polls overlap timestamp in message bubble layout

@t3chguy do you have what you need to move forwards with this issue?

[t3chguy]

Nope, need design to choose a new positioning for poll timestamps

Hi @gaelledel as the designer on Polls can you provide the figma link for this use case please? Thank you

[gaelledel]

I don't have specific designs for polls in bubbles as this goes beyond this feature design but I can provide some guidance based on the current implementation.
It would be good to mimic the visual style of the state of Polls in a default layout view when bubble is activated like below with the timestamp being placed under the avatar

Currently the size of the options are too small

Happy for @amshakal to make further calls on how she would like to handle this case scenario

Thanks, @gaelledel

Sorry, I don't think I communicated this particularly well.

Polls will stay as you've designed. We will not be placing Polls inside of Bubbles. The issue we're running into is when a poll is too "thin" the timestamp overlaps with the other content. I would understand that this is a use case faced by the whole polls project, not just the bubbles+polls project.

Where should the timestamp for a poll go when the poll is not wide enough to support the timestamp and the content underneath the poll?

@daniellekirkwood it looks like @gaelledel is suggesting that polls should not shrink down to the minimum size to fit their Questions & Answers, in Modern layout they take up a lot of width regardless the content. This would fix the overlap issue between timestamp & the polls text. They would simply never be in the broken narrow state.

[gaelledel]

Yes to @t3chguy comment. The options should only shrink when minimizing the view port. A constraint should be put in place so it does not minimise to create the overlap mentioned above.

[t3chguy]

We can probably grow the poll to the max width of a bubbles column (70%) to match long text bubbles

[daniellekirkwood]

Sounds good, so long as y'all are aligned on that approach 👍
