Title: Why these two different URLs to same product

Hi,
Why do I get two different links to every (or almost) product, like in example this one?

you could probably find a few more as well..

but what matters is the canonical which is always the same

<link href="https://livingstudio.se/shoppa-via-kategori/krokar-haengare/lilla-eda-detaljer" rel="canonical" />

So, Virtuemart fixes it? (I see it in the code, but not quite sure it fixes the problem) I don't need to care, even if under the Google Html Improvement Tag pages are listed as duplicates?
Sorry for my ignorance.

Google indexes the canonical if present

IMHO the canonical is present on all VM pages
