cartodb: time series scrubber movement does not span entire widget / data
Context
A partner / client needs a time series map off of data that is simply three years: 2012, 2013, 2014. They created a time series widget off of it and got the following:
Notice that the scrubber seems to have a different width than the underlying histogram.
related #12640
Steps to Reproduce
Same as in #12640:
- Import this dataset with the same time properties as the client/partner data: http://eschbacher.carto.com/api/v2/sql?q=select * from time_series_issue_data&format=csv&filename=time_series_issue_data
- Create a map for this data
- Create a torque map and select the
yearcolumn - Set number of steps to 3 (and reduce time to 6 so it goes more quickly)
Current Result
The following time series widget scrubber behavior:
Expected result
Scrubber spans the entire width

This still needs a little bit of @CartoDB/design love
IMO the scrubber should fall wherever the user clicks on the timeline (as it happens on a youtube video for example) and then it should keep moving forwards. I get that we are snapping filter handles to the limits of the buckets when we select them, but in this case, we’re not making any selection, we’re just moving along a timeline.
So, to clarify, the scrubber shouldn’t jump between each starting point, it should move along the full width of the bucket.
