Poll answer redirection in the same style

Title:
Poll answer redirection in the same style

Area:
polls, entries, styles

Summary:
When answering a poll on a page loaded in ?style=mine or ?style=light, the redirect to the page with the poll answers should remain in that style.

Description:
After reading the most recent dw_news post, I followed the link Denise left to http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/10503.html – a community page with customized comment pages. I prefer reading entries with the site scheme styled pages, so using the navbar I loaded the page in ?style=mine.

After answering the poll, I was redirected to the original page, with the poll answers showing – and in the community's custom layout loaded, instead of the site scheme page.

I would expect the page to keep the same style, either custom, ?style=mine, or ?style=light, when reloading the page with the poll answers. I was very surprised when it didn't.

So: Whatever style the page is loaded in should remain when the poll is answered and the user is redirected to the entry with the answers visible.

Poll #1217 Poll answer redirection in the same style
Open to: Registered Users, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 38

This, I agree, would be a good stop-gap, but I'd eventually like to see only the poll reloaded, not the entire page.
