Yellow candies dropping prematurely?

Hi there. Has anyone else noticed yellow candies dropping in a level when they shouldn't since the latest update?
I wonder if this is a new method of the game trying to stop us from passing a level by using a method that is not specifically written into the level design. I saw some yellow candies drop on my last move in a level I failed and I could swear that when I played it for the first time on my other device the yellow candies dropped with two or three moves left (but I failed to take a screenshot of this)
This has never happened before. In the past yellow candies only drop after we pass a level.
I'll take a screenshot next time I see this.

😮 I haven't installed the latest update yet. It's a major change if they have actually done it. That means there's no sense in spending ten gold on additional moves since you'll be dealing with a bad board that has an extra color. I'm torn between wanting to test it out and wanting to delay this update for as long as I can. Is this happening in the top of the map game?

I wouldn't worry too much about it @MannyFae . If it is something they've introduced deliberately it must be very rare, as apart from the one level 5682 I haven't been able to recreate it at all. On that particular level I saw it three times but struggle to recreate it now. That's why I was asking if anyone else has seen this. It's maybe just a glitch with this one level, which most players would never notice. Obviously if I see this again on any other level I'll take note.

Yup and I mentioned it in my Last Crusade thread. I think the game is now just treating win/loss with the same logic, once the last move is made, the win/lose flag is set and the final cascade starts.
While awkward it is basically meaningless as for as the result. It might just be a change to either simplify the logic/code or it might even improve performance since it does not need two different ending cascades.
Could also be a bug but feels intentional.
Anyway so far I have seen it six or so times. Never tried to replicate it though.

If that is so then, as MannyFae mentioned, it would discourage players from spending gold bars to play on, wouldn't it? I don't understand the logic in that at all. Who would pay 10 gold for extra moves on a board that is full of yellow candies? Having said that, when it did happen to me on that third occasion, the game dropped yellow candies followed by a triple (!) colour bomb. Yes, it was three colour bombs, dropping one after the other down the same column. I wish I could have taken as screenshot, but if it's your last move the banner that dropped down hid it all.

Good point.
I wonder if this is due to the color change then. Maybe the added some code to tell the game what colors to drop post loss, specifically vs just whatever was in the level, and it has the wrong values.
