Can you please fix the desktop version of Candy Crush?

In the desktop version, I get lives from friends, but don't open them because I can't go above 5 lives, which I already have when I log in. The board flashes slightly whenever I see it. I will open a level, currently on 1416. If I beat it, then the whole board is blank without any numbers and flashes. I can't go forward from there. I have to exit and re-enter in order to play the next level. If I don't beat the level, once all my lives are gone, I have the same flashing experience. All my messages and lives from friends disappear as well. This happens anytime I am playing a level and go back to the board, even if I still have lives remaining. This has been for over a week. Please fix this issue and possibly allow the lives to go above 5 if they are gifts from friends as well.
