magento - Magento1.7:Facing issue with shopping cart

Question

I am facing some critical issue in Magento:
When I logged in and added some products in cart and logged out, again logged in then those products were still remaining in shopping cart.

----> This should not have happened because I set "Clear Persistence on Log Out".

The steps involved in this case are:

1. I logged in.
2. Added 2 products to my cart.
3. Now I logged out.
4. Then without logging in , I browsed the website and added 4 products to cart.
5. After that, at the time of checking out I was requested to login, so I logged in.
6. Now instead of 4 products(which is intended), I see 2+4=6 products in my cart during payment.

I configure as below --

• Enable Persistence -- Yes
• Persistence Lifetime (seconds) -- 60
• Enable "Remember Me" -- Yes
• "Remember Me" Default Value --- No
• Clear Persistence on Log Out -- Yes
• Persist Shopping Cart -- Yes

But unable to figure out the problem, in configuration I put 60 second. I logged out and after 5 minutes again I logged in. I found products are remain in shopping cart.

According to configuration, product must be deleted from shopping cart after I logged out.

I messed up with this problem. Kindly help me.

It's the persistent cart feature introduced in Magento 1.5. You can disable it at:

System->configuration->Persistent Shopping Cart
