[TYPO3-english] Facebook like - url problem

I´m running version 4.5.22 and using tt_news and had a developer just recently add a Facebook like button to my news part.  We are now seeing unexpected behaviour that when you open up any news item and press the Facebook like button - and send the link to Facebook - the link or the url, gets an unexpected additional "facebook parameters" rather than the direct url to the news item:

Example: http://myweb.com/news/single/article/a-news-item-i-like.html is the "normal" url of the news item but the link published on Facebook gets the url http://myweb.com/news/single/article/a-news-item-i-like.html?fb_action_ids=10200554517219839&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map={"10200554517219839"%3A269826639827425}&action_type_map={"10200554517219839"%3A"og.likes"}&action_ref_map=[]

While both urls will display the correct news item being liked, the first one displays updated information on FB likes, i.e. so and so many have liked this news before - the second one seems to represent the news item before it was liked and thus always displays the news with no FB likes.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before or can explain what may cause this "long url" to be published to Facebook but not the "usual" one ?
