Game Freezing when Fish Used

This problem has been reported since Apr 25 "Fish glitching", and several times it appeared to be fixed but came back. Recently it came back differently, where the graphics animation would freeze whenever you combined a stripe with a package. Today, frozen fish are back, but even worse -- about 20 seconds stops for each fish! It's not just iOS. It's a problem on my Windows 10 too. There is also an unexplained delay at the end of each game. Today is also a new problem where this week's expired "Kimmy's Candy Hunt" keeps reporting the 0m0s scores after every game.

Again the fish candy is feeezing... takes few seconds for the game to get back to normal

Yes!

Now that I have paid closer attention, my "freezing" problems seem indeed to always involve fish.
