Visitor Cart not merging upon Login for me

Was testing some of my site's functionality, and found that as a visitor, the contents of the shopping cart was removed during account creation.

I thought that registering as a user would merge the content of the visitor's cart into the cart of the newly-created cart.

Anyone experience this?

Also, can you allow a user to shop and check out without requiring them to have an account?

I am running ZC v1.3.8a, with IH2 and Tabbed Products Pro, with the Silverfish template.

Thanks.

If you switch back to the classic template, do you have the same problem?

I tried it again before switching back to the default template, but this time the item made it all the way through checkout. I must have done something screwy the other day to have gotten the item to go away - what I don't know. It is a little disconcerting, though; if I inadvertently found a way, so could a live customer...

Do you have any insight to my second question, as to whether I can allow a customer to do a "quick checkout" without requiring them to create an account?

Thank you so much for your reply, Kim!

The answer to your question is not at this time. There are some addons that attempts this though I do not know how effective they are.
