 * **Store URL:** themangofactory.com
    **WordPress version:**3.9.1 **WP eCommerce
   version:** 3.8.14.1 **Gold Cart version:** 2.9.7.8 **Theme: **Thesis 1.8.5
 * **I did this: ** Customer selects state in checkout. (Not working consistently)–
   I made the shipping address, city, state fields mandatory and it still is not
   passing state through and doesn’t always allow the state to be selected.( it 
   gives error: “Please enter a valid state.”)
 * I deactivated all other plugins and tested with the same results.
 * **I expected WPeCommerce to do this:** allow customer to proceed through checkout
   process.
 * **Instead it did this: **Intermittently doesn’t keep state setting. My client
   has had some orders go through, but the state still doesn’t show on the order.
   He contacted Authorize.net and they said that the shopping cart is not sending
   the state with the payment details.

 * I was having the same issue. The temporary fix for me was to move the country
   field above the city and state.

 * Yes it seems that was a really weird bug and the above “fix” is working for now.
   
   The issue appears to be resolved on the master branch on GitHub so it should 
   be solved in upcoming version.

 * This worked for me, but still have county above state in checkout since selecting
   a country first changes the state to a drop-down field rather than a text field.
