Last Opened Macro bug?

I have just started to use the Locked category feature and have come across an issue.

I have a locked category with 1 macro in it.

If I exit Macrodroid with the last Opened Macro the one in the locked category, then on opening Macrodroid the category is shown as locked but selecting the last Opened Macro and the macro is opened without asking for the password.

Is this the correct operation or is it a bug?

I was expecting to have to input the password before I could access the macro.

My current work around is to ensure the macro in the locked category is NOT the last Opened Macro before exiting Macrodroid.

Further to my original post, I have a few other other observations.
In system log the macro execution can be hidden or shown using the macro selection feature and works exactly as expected.
When hidden, the system log search for actions from the macro are correctly not shown.
When the macro is enabled in system log, search correctly shows items from the macro. Touching the macro name (system log entry), the password entry box is presented, preventing access to the macro until the password is entered. This is how I would expect it to work.
I think that's how the open last macro should work, for consistency and for security.

Another observation.
When the macro in the locked category is enabled in the system log, touching the macro name (in system log entry) correctly asks for the password BUT it doesn't remember the setting. I have to input the password everytime I touch the macro name, even when I haven't exited system log.

This behaviour is the same irrespective of unlocking or not unlocking the category before opening the system log.

I was expecting that the password would only be required once per session.
