I don't understand the point of this poll. Perhaps we need a poll about if I have stopped beating my wife? The assumptions built in would be no less false.

They aren't misleading at all. 15 is fifteen times longer than 1. It's 3 times as long as 5. there is not problem. They represent what they're supposed to.

I noticed at work it looks fine. Must be my monitor at home:

I don't know why it's so small, but they are 0, 7, and 13, respectively.

Right now the 16 and 20 are the exact same length.

I figured it out! I have the page set to "loose" and I have it set rather wide (that's what she said) which stretches out the less popular choices while leaving the more popular choices intact. If I shrink the window down everything looks normal.

There's apparently a limit to how long images will stretch. If you have a high resolution and the page width setting set to "loose" there's a chance a poll bar will stop at that limit, even though it's supposed to be longer.

Will be fixed with the next update.
