Hi,

The clock timer and the clock text are two separate things.  If you undo
a closed timestamp then you have an open clock -- but there is no
current task clocking since you clocked out and cleared this
information.  The current clocking task is kept track of in variables in
the org-mode codebase.  You can clock the open task in again and then
clock it out to regenerate the closing time for the task.

HTH,
Bernt
