    text
    copied!<p>In my application I have a <code>UITextField</code> inside a <code>UITableViewCell</code>. If I click inside the text field and add some text I find that if try to move the insertion point it works the first time but fails on subsequent attempts. I am completely unable to move the selection; no "magnifying glass" appears.</p> <p>Even more curious, this "setting" seems to be permanent until I restart the application. And it affects all <code>UITextFields</code> on that screen and not just the one that I originally tried to edit.</p> <p>If you want to see it yourself, try the "UICatalog" sample that comes with the iPhone SDK. Click "text fields" and then "edit" and play around with the text boxes.</p> <p>I've done a lot of digging on this but it's pretty hard to Google for! The best references I've found are on <a href="http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8280094" rel="noreferrer">Apple's support board</a> and <a href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=521818" rel="noreferrer">MacRumors formum</a> (both reference a solution that apparently used to work on iPhone 2.0 but does work not with contemporary versions -- I did try).</p> <p>My feeling that is that this is a bug in the OS, but I thought I'd throw this out to the SO crowd for a second opinion and to see if there are any workarounds. Any ideas?</p> <p>Following benzado's suggestion, I tried building my application using the 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 SDKs. I got the same behaviour in all versions. (Actually, something related but not the same broke in 2.2 but that's probably another question!)</p>
