Removing the last round does not remove the round itself, only the content

I don't know if this is intentional, but if I start a new round (accidently) and then try to remove it, it does only remove the questions and not the new round. The problem here is that if I want the old questions on the current page, there is no way to do that yet (to reverse the process). If I delete a round in between the page does vanish, so I am wondering why it does not work with the last round.
What you describe, is the expected behavior. When you delete a round its contents are gone and cannot be recovered. You can't tell it with the "last round" but you are getting a new page, it is just empty of questions.
I think you might not be using the latest Hot Question 3.5.3+ because it has a pop-up that asks you, "Confirm you want to delete round" to help prevent "accidental" deletions. Please check your version and upgrade, if you are not using 3.5.3+.
Thank you for the quick answer!
we are indeed using 3.5.3+. The Problem is not the accidental deletion of rounds (the pop up works) but the accidential starting of rounds (where there is no po-up) that can be deleted but then I am stuck with a blank page and not the current round that i had before, because the process is not reversable.
I wanted to report this behaviour because i was testing the plugins for our moodle and found it a bit odd but if it is indeed intentional we will adapt to it if there should ever be a problem with that behaviour in the future.
Thank you!
I am so sorry that I just now realized that you and I were concerned about two different situations. I thought you were talking about the, Delete round, tool button, when it appears you were concerned with the, Open a new round, tool button. I will investigate and see what I can do. Easiest thing would be to add a confirmation popup with a warning that opening a new round would lock the previous round.
In the past, on multiple occasions, I have wanted to add to a closed round, too. I will investigate the possibility of making an old round become the current round or, maybe making a previous round accept new entries.
Please be patient as right now my time for working on this is limited due to my wife is presently undergoing a post operative preventive round of chemo therapy for pancreatic cancer. She is one month into a scheduled three month process, but it is going to probably be extended to four months due to her poor tolerance to one of the drugs.
Created new version 3.6.0 branch with confirmation popup. Will probably be tomorrow before I put on moodle.org as I have only tested on Moodle 3.7 so far. Need to test down to Moodle 2.8.
It is not at all urgent, it was just something that we noticed and thought could be improved.
Please take your time. And I wish your wife a good recovery (according to the circumstances).
Thank you : )
Confirmation popup when opening a New round, is included in the new Hot Question 3.6.0 (Build 209062400) released today 20190625.
