Checkout_stage not showing in URL

[pazzini]

I have my shop showing this URL when a user checks out.
index.php?page=checkout.index&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=65&redirected=1&Itemid=65

for all the steps it does not show the checkoout_stage as i would expect below in the URL hence it ends up using the home template with the layout distorted

What i expect instead:
index.php?page=checkout.index&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=65&redirected=1&Itemid=65&checkout_stage=1
index.php?page=checkout.index&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=65&redirected=1&Itemid=65&checkout_stage=2
index.php?page=checkout.index&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=65&redirected=1&Itemid=65&checkout_stage=3
index.php?page=checkout.index&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=65&redirected=1&Itemid=65&checkout_stage=4
