Observed system behavior is correct. Asynchronous actions performed via AJAX, like removing item in cart sidebar, must not cause a full page reload. Are there any pages behaving like this in core currently?

Shopping cart page may be AJAXified though using some extension or your custom implementation, for your particular store you may even implement full page reload as you suggest, but this is not something which needs to be changed in core.

Please check Magento 1.9.3.6 behavior related to this issue. Removing the item from cart side block the page will update according to your action, without any reloading.

This is a bug and creates confusion. Once you delete the product from cart side block AJAX should do the job removing that product from cart page. If you consider this a correct behavior just hide cart side block if the current page is cart page.

Is sidebar updated via AJAX in 1.9.x? Is main content area of shopping cart page updated via AJAX as well?

What would be really confusing to user is full page reload when he interacts with cart sidebar block.

So you're saying that main content area should be updated without page reload by the same piece of JS? That makes perfect sense.

should be updated without page reload

@korostii, could be updated. For core such behavior seems to be a feature request, there are quite a lot of AjaxCart extensions in the market though.

I mean it's pretty strange to take aim at the specific solution suggested in the bug report, instead of discussing the issue itself.

Cart content is getting out of sync with the minicart - that's clearly a bug. Whether there are 3rd-party extensions "fixing" this or other known workarounds is irrelevant.

This is a bug. It is clear to me Magento Team doesn't want to check Magento 1 for this behavior. If they could check they will see immediately this issue. Normally Magento 2 should keep all features available from Magento 1. This one is a bug, trust me I played thousands of times with Magento 1 and I saw this issue in version 2 from the very beginning.

Maybe it is better to find an extension, or keep it close, but disappointing loyal people who would like to find Magento 2 same like Magento 1.

Ok, let's @magento-engcom-team decide whether it's a bug or a feature request.

@addison74, for the record

Expected result
Cart page should refresh and shows no product

Such behavior looks like a poor UX to me. Removing item from minicart staying on Shopping Cart page is quite a nonrealistic scenario. Proper expected result is updating page main content via AJAX or something.
