UITableView is shifting down ~1inch unintentionally when using using sidebar menu

Question

I'm having a weird bug in my app that uses a sidebar menu with a UITableView to list buttons to navigate. When I start my app, everything looks fine and is in the correct place.

Once I make a selection to the respective viewController, and navigate back to sidebar menu theUITableView` is shifted down about 1 inch.

If I press the sidebar menu button to close it, the menu resets and everything works and looks normal. This bug only happens once, once I select an row, navigate back to it, close it, the UITableView will be in the correct position until the user hard restarts the app. Any idea whats going on?

Here is my code for the sidebar menu:

#import "SideBarViewController.h"

@interface SideBarViewController ()

@end

@implementation SideBarViewController

@synthesize controllerArray, sidebarButton;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    controllerArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Search For Games", @"Login", @"Library", nil];

}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return [controllerArray count];
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = @"SimpleTableItem";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];

    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
    }

    cell.textLabel.text = [controllerArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    return cell;
}

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    UIViewController *selection;

    if (indexPath.row == 0) {
        selection = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"SearchController"];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:selection animated:YES];
        [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    }
    else if (indexPath.row == 1) {
        selection = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"LoginController"];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:selection animated:YES];
        [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    }
    else if (indexPath.row == 2) {
        selection = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"LibraryController"];
        [self.navigationController pushViewController:selection animated:YES];
        [tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
    }

}

I followed the tutorial on the "Ray Wenderlich" website for sidebar code.

Also, I've tested other objects, such as buttons and labels and they do not move, its only the UITableView that shifts.

Thanks!

check if the top margin is set to flexible in auto layout constraints. — Pawan Rai, May 19 '14 at 19:59

I found the solution! It had to do with the setting for the Navigation controller. Credit due here.

Container View getting pushed down as if it had a UINavigationBar?

You need to check and see if "Translucent" is checked under the Navigation Bar settings.

Thanks for this ... just spent two hours scratching my head .... first time in perfect.... then after a modal view transition with an unwind segue --- it would add a noticeable frame shift change. Thanks. – Matthew Ferguson Feb 17 '16 at 23:36

Try adding self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0); to viewDidLoad. This could be a solution if your app is adding insets automatically.

I had to add this to `viewWillAppear` instead of `viewDidLoad`. – duncanc4 Feb 18 '16 at 05:35
This work, you have to call it once your cell shift down afterward. so it will rearrange. – Dilip Manek Feb 23 '16 at 13:24

Try setting self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO in your view controller.
Try setting the edgesForExtendedLayout to UIRectEdgeNone.

Hope it helps.

This didn't work for me. Still shifting down. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with pushing from a UINavigation? It seems to be moving down the width of UINav Title bar... – DookieMan May 20 '14 at 02:16
