Text magnifying glass hangs with UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress?

Question

I have a UITextField that I put into a UITableViewCell that I put into a grouped UITableView. I noticed today that if I hold my finger down to bring up the iPhone magnifying glass, if my UITextField's keyboardType is UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress, the magnifying glass is displayed, but it just hangs - I can't move it left or right, I can't make it dissapear, it just hangs.

I thought to myself, hmm, odd, maybe it's something to do with UITextFields in cells in a grouped UITableView? So I tried on some other UITextFields, and this does not happen for ones that do not use UIKeyboardTypeEmailAddress.

Has anyone seen anything like this? Is this just a bug in Cocoa Touch? Or is there something I could possibly be doing wrong?

Answer 1

I am getting the same behaviour although my UIKeyboardType is just normal text - so its not the type of keyboard.

I too have a grouped table - and my text field is on the first row (not sure if this is relevant but thought it might help spot similarities).

Update - I noticed that when testing with the 3.0 sdk - I don't get this error (so it seems like something apple has fixed?). I have gone back and tried compiling with 2.2.1 and 2.2 and I still get the error on both of these versions.

I have discovered a fix described here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/376372/editing-a-uitextfield-inside-a-uitableviewcell-fails
