I agree. This is not something that Moodle does. (Try it at https://qa.moodledemo.net).
As Rick says, from Moodle 3.11 onwards, Moodle will remember the settings used when you create one question when you create a second question of the same type, but this is only done for some settings where that makes sense (e.g. the numbering style for multiple choice choices.)
Hmm. One thought. I guess this symptom could be cause by Moodle's 'autosave' system getting confused. It could be restoring the text from the other question into the new one. However, I cannot see any bug reports from other people experiencing this. (And, if this happened, there would be a message in the form telling you that a draft had been restored.)
