Answer 1

i'm seeing the same thing with an update to 4.0. anybody find a solutions? (can't just add www. ;-))

Answer 2

I got'it this might have problem with auto generating link.

turn off all detection of your UIWebView. In my case, detection of phone numbers is issues.

may the force be with you :D

Answer 3

Yeah, deactivating the detection of phone numbers did work!

Great Thanks!

Answer 4

Deactivating detection of links did it for me in the UIWebView! I tried phone numbers first and that wasn't enough. Very strange.

Answer 5

I had exactly the same problem and, in my case, deactivating the phone number ditation did work.

webView.dataDetectorTypes = UIDataDetectorTypeLink;

Very strange issue.... Thanks for the post.
