TableView doesn't allow scrolling if it contains only a few rows

Question

In my navigation controller, I have a TableView with a searchbar at the top. I want this searchbar hidden unless the user drags the table down (as in how it works in the Music app). But if my table has only a few rows (not enough to cause content to go offscreen), the table isn't initially scrollable. If I select a row (causing the navigation controller to load a new view) and then go back to the original view, the table is now scrollable and I can drag down the table to expose to searchbar.

I have no idea what's causing this. I don't know if it's an Apple bug or if I've done something stupid in my code. Has anyone seen this before?

Without seeing your code I cannot decide whether your are doing something crazy in your code. I am not a wizard. — dasdom, Dec 01 '11 at 12:20
If you're using a Xib file. Select the table and examine the properties under the "Scroll View" section of the attributes inspector. — Sanjay Chaudhry, Dec 01 '11 at 14:39
Thanks, Sanjay. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything in there to help me. — Stewart Macdonald, Dec 02 '11 at 09:45

So I think it's a bug in iOS. After a lot of mucking around with my code, and Googling, I found someone else with the same problem:

UITableView Won't Scroll In Certain Conditions

They put forward a solution that has worked for me.
