Hello,
1) I cannot replicate the same issue using our demo store
http://demo.x-cart.com/demo_goldplus/home.php?alt_skin=05_ideal_responsive
Could you please provide me with the valid SSH/FTP or Control Panel access info to your server so I can see what's causing the issue directly.
Please do not post the access here, instead post it in X-Business access list section here:
https://secure.x-cart.com/customer.php?target=create_access_info
2) You can skip the patch applying as your store is already patched.
3) I have posted a ticket

Thank you.
