Removing product from cart progresses to next step

My checkout work-flow is : cart,login,address_shipping_payment_confirm_status,end
when in the cart removing one of the products moves the flow ot the next step which is the login step

That's indeed the behavior currently.

Could you replace the file components/com_hikashop/controllers/checkout.php by the one in the package enclosed ? That should fix the problem.

Thank you, problem resolved
