This is a feature, as you typically wouldn’t need to see the mini cart if you’re in the real cart – there isn’t a way around it at the moment, unfortunately.
It isn’t hidden on the checkout by us – it looks like WooCommerce itself won’t display the cart items when on the checkout (as the items are visible in the checkout itself).
I wonder if this has been introduced in one of the recent Woo updates…
I’m sure mini-cart dropdowns used to work whilst in the cart & checkout in the past.
Unless that is all just in my head!! π
I see that they aren’t necessary.. Just for some reason I seem to remember them working this way once and thought it was a GP thing. All good!
