Disappearing resources by swiping

[jemni]

Am I seeing things? Did I discover the power of an equippable?

I had one column of resources that was reaching the top of the screen and shaking. My usual trick for this if I don't have an easy combo to make is to slide the top resource over to a shorter stack.

Well, today I tried this and maybe got a little more gusto on my finger swipe and an odd thing happened. Rather than seeing the resource slide over and drop down, it appeared to slide off the screen and disappear!!!!

Has anyone else seen this? Is this a bug? I can't seem to reproduce it now, so I don't know what the exact circumstances were.

I've only seen this when I have the phone sideways, and I swipe a resource off what would be the top of the screen when I tip the phone back vertical again. When I do tip the phone vertical again, the resource I moved off the screen falls back onto the stack.

Seems to be expected behavior, but definitely an odd "trick" for shorting a stack long enough for making other matches.

There was a report of this happening if a dreameater block was exploding. If the block you swiped was part of the edge of the explosion, then it could fly off the screen and never return.

Hmmm, that may have been what happened. But I thought I did it a few times without other explosions or anything going on. And I was holding the phone vertical.
