About 2 weeks back I had this trouble too. I had an expansion going, was chaining my stores about 7-10 squares away from edge when I noticed my expansion finish. I thought Wow I have never seen an expansion finish while playing, then I noticed crystal count down by about 30. Next day I was chaining and 40 crystals went poof, did not even see a hurry option or confirm screen. Then not 3 seconds later happened again with 20. It made me really mad as I am on ios and don't get free crystal offers. Have to earn from challenges or collect from my bank & tree. It really sucked the fun out of the game for me for awhile, made me feel like I would never get anywhere. Over the course of my game (level 37) I have also started at least 2-3 expansions I didn't want to at the time. I wrote up a letter to TinyCo at work forwarded it home to add UDID # to and then life got in the way and I have never sent it. I still might. But since then I have changed some things. I moved the Starflowers away from the edge, put the big "Parade" theme deco items and other bigger items at the edges, emeralds, etc. I did have a lot of starflowers squeezed in between stores and I think trying to chain those is what led to 60+ crystal loss, so I moved all stores together and deco away from stores. Big change is collecting from right to left now. I was doing left to right, I think that most English speaking people just do this since we read left to right. So I changed it, so now my finger is moving away from hurry and confirm box. Has saved me at least 5 times. I am still mad that I lost about 130 crystals without even seeing why or confiming it. I don't think that is right. But I am not sure what result I would have from Support.
