Confusingly all points entered with "Punkt hinzufügen" are deleted when the last point is added if not explicitly selecting routing up front

Description
#### Here's what I did
- open website maps.openrouteservice.org
- click on [>] button on the left to open routing and other tools
- Naively click on "Punkt hinzufügen" to now have two text slots, one for Startpunkt and one for Ziel
- Click on half-folded-map icon for Startpunkt to select a position on the map and select one
- Do the same for Ziel
---
#### Here's what I got
Instead of having now a Startpunkt and a Ziel there is now only the one point listed and some details of the point are shown.
---
#### Here's what I was expecting
There should be the two points that were entered. This is particularly confusing and annoying if someone entered 10 points in the hope to finally route in between. They are all gone as soon as the last point is entered.
---
#### Here's what I think could be improved
The one mistake I made was to not **first** click on the routing icon. If I do that, it works as expected and I get a route after entering Ziel. The improvement would be to either prevent entering many points if the routing icon was not clicked first or allow to request the route after entering Ziel finally. But letting entered point disappear in a puff of smoke is not nice.
