New behavior for multiple match-5's in a turn

I've noticed this a few times now - it seems you can gain more than one additional swap if you happen to create more than one match-5 in a turn.  I've been able to pull it off and have seen Greg do it a couple of times.  It's an interesting change that I'm not sure if it's better or worse - just different...  Anyone else notice this?

    It's not new (e.g. see https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/comment/888973).  Matching 5 twice in the same cascade still gives only one extra turn most of the time; it seems to give two when one of the match 5s involves a permanent support on the board.  May or may not be a bug, but it happens so rarely it's mostly just an interesting easter egg whenever it does.

    Inconsistency continues to be the only consistency in this game... :(

    The behaviour seems pretty consistent, actually - but it's certainly obscure and unexplained.

    Yes to all of this. Makes you wonder if it was even intentional.

    i didnt mean to imply it happened to me, the first 5 match set up a separate 5 match for an extra turn by chance
