Scrolling to bottom

[kevinrenskers]

First of all, thank you so much for this example app, it helped me a lot when moving to pure auto layout auto sizing table view cells. I've noticed a strange problem in my app and had the same problem with this example app too.

Let's say I want the table to start off scrolled all the way to the bottom, the user then has to scroll up to see previous items (like the Messages app, or any chap page). So in viewWillAppear: I'd call something like this:

NSUInteger index = [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0] - 1;
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:index inSection:0];
[self.tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:indexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:NO];

What you'll notice is that the table is scrolled to somewhere in the middle instead of the bottom, and when you scroll up, the previous cells pop into place while causing the entire table to jump. It's very very ugly.

I've also asked about the problem on stackoverflow but no answers yet. Maybe you have any ideas on how to solve this?

Yes, this is a known Apple bug. Here is another StackOverflow question about the same issue that I answered: http://stackoverflow.com/a/25800080/796419
