Why does my UIScrollView change it's original content offset when I scroll?

Question

Before I scroll, my UIScrollView is laid out perfectly. See here

However if I scroll up, the view bounces as I go out of bounds and then resets too high. See here

I am going to guess this has to do with a hack that I did earlier to get the view to originally show like in the first screen shot. For some reason, to get my view to look like the second screen shot, I do:

[scrollView setContentOffset:CGPointMake(0,-50) animated:YES];

in viewDidLoad

But if I set the content offset to 0,0 in viewDidLoad, I get something that looks like the second screen shot when the view loads.

This doesn't make much sense to me because if the content offset is 0,0 I would think the content should begin in the upper right corner of the screen.

Does anyone know what could be going on here?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The contentOffset is the scroll position. Have you set the contentInsets? Otherwise, try moving the subviews of the UIScrollView down 50 pixels.
