I found a question which was a direct duplicate of another one by the same author.

So I cleaned up the original and voted to close the duplicate. Unfortunately, he then proceeded to delete the question I just cleaned up. Annoyed, I told him he shouldn't have done that. And as a result he seems to have undeleted the original.

Now it does seem that the close votes have been reset. Either that, or I no longer have an indicator that the question currently has a close vote. Trying to vote once again shows me I can't do so because I already voted on the question.

Is this expected behaviour? Or are we dealing with a bug here?

    I've tried closing him as such @ShaWizDowArd. But he just deletes and undeletes himself....

  • OK, back to topic: the votes are reset indeed, but it's the same behavior as delete votes being reset if OP deletes his own post then undelete. So if it's a bug, it's affecting more than just close votes.

  • Yup - you can add your new example there to bump it, or just start a bounty. :-)

  • @ShaWizDowArd Vote to close this one as a dupe please. Then at least the info is around. I'll throw a bounty on the other one.

    If I were a mod I would most likely delete that other question just to see the counter here reset! :-P

    Hmm, it appears that this is by design. I do not agree with that design.
