UITableView Header and footer indent during edit mode

Question

I have a UITableView with three Cell Prototypes in the storyboard, I use one cell in the header section, one for the normal table rows and another for the table footer.

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Header";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    //some personalization
    return cell;
}

My problem is whenever i enter in the edit mode of the tableview the header and footer are moving to the left, like the cell that is current editing.

- (void) setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated {
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
    [self.tableView setEditing:editing animated:animated];
}
- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    return YES;
}

before

In edit mode:

after

Any solution or hints? Neither the last XCode update fixed it.

Thank you

I posted the code on how I created the header and activated the edit mode. — lorenzop, Dec 27 '14 at 10:53
Did you change the animation or adjust the frame? Hope more detail. — Zigii Wong, Dec 27 '14 at 11:56
Nothing else. Could the problem be I'm using a UITableViewCell for Header and not a UIView? — lorenzop, Dec 27 '14 at 16:38

Solved. Basically I had to create a UIView and use that in as My header / footer, and not use a UITableViewCell.

Along the way I found out that it's perfectly fine using a tableViewCell, you just return the cell contentView and the indention for the header while editing is gone.

I solved the issue of "moving" headers with creating a header with a UIView instead of UITableViewCell. You can do it by simply dragging a UIView out to the UITableView it will place it right above/between prototype cells. Then you can treat it as and view in Interface Builder. You can create a controller for it, but imho it is quicker and easier to give it a tag and then use tableView.viewWithTag(tag). Hope it helps!
