I have a cell with a few lines of text which changes colour when selected/highlighted. The problem is that as the new viewController is being pushed, the deselection animation occurs which is visually distracting as the text suddenly reverts to the unselected state. I have moved the deselectRowAtIndexPath statement after the line where the new view controller is pushed, but this has no effect.

How can I prevent the user seeing the cell deselection (without implementing a timer)? Any help would be appreciated please.

    I think the general paradigm used with table views and pushing new VCs is that you deselect the table row in your viewWillAppear:animated method. Then as the VC is popped, they see which row had been used to navigate to that VC.

    - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];

    [self.myTableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:[myTableView indexPathForSelectedRow] animated:YES];

}

    so remove deselectRow from your didSelectRowAtIndexPath method.
