Candy Crush has been dropping lives on me

Question

I get down to 2 or 3 lives, I fail to finish a level, I expect the lives remaining to index down one more, but it simply jumps to zero!

Are you playing in both worlds? Because some players have 5 lives in each world but some have only 5 for both worlds. I only ask because maybe you're playing in both worlds and this is why they different.

Nope, single world game. Only running the one instance. Doesn't happen when I play on my Andriod phone.
