Candy Crush Saga Level 1103 malfunctioning

This is a problem on both my iPad and on my Facebook version that I play on a Mac at level 1103 of Candy Crush Saga.   There are a set number of yellow candies to be collected and they are all under the check-marked candy.  When I start out the game there are enough check-marked candies to total at the number to be collected.  When I open them they all turn yellow.  But sometime during the game the total of the yellow plus the remaining check-marked candies do not total the original amount.  Either they are disappearing or the total reflected in the page is malfunctioning.  Is there some reason they disappear that I do not know or is this a malfunction.  I understand that the game was recently changed to make it more difficult.  Could that reprograming have created this glitch?  How do I overcome it?  Will you correct it?  Thank you.
