I have a grouped UITableViewController with one section and many rows. Each cell consists of two elements: a UILabel with a description and a UITextField for an input. A form, so to speak 😉

Now I have a problem when I try to scroll the entire UITableViewController. Only on about half of my finger movements, it scrolls.

After I’ve studied the phenomenon more accurately, I noticed that the scroll works only if I hit the UILabel with my finger. If I hit the UITextField coincidentally, the UITableViewController does not scroll.

What can I do to solve the problem?

    One thing you could try is to create the UITextFields with userInteractionEnabled = NO, then when the cell is selected, set userInteractionEnabled and call [textField becomeFirstResponder] on it.

    Although, I have just the same kind of tables and haven’t noticed any scrolling problems…and I didn’t set userInteractionEnabled = NO. Have you perhaps set the cells’ selection style to none? In my tables, when I tap on the row, I get a row selection. Swiping, even touching down over the text field, scrolls. But in edit mode, where I disallow row selection, if I touch down over the text field and delay just a little before swiping, I don’t get a scroll, and sometimes the text field becomes first responder.

    Hopefully that will give some things to think about or experiments to try.
