How to stop unwanted UIButton animation on title change?

Question

In iOS 7 my UIButton titles are animating in and out at the wrong time - late. This problem does not appear on iOS 6. I\'m just using:

[self setTitle:text fo

I’ve made a Swift extension to do this:

extension UIButton {
    func setTitleWithoutAnimation(title: String?) {
        UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(false)

        setTitle(title, forState: .Normal)

        layoutIfNeeded()
        UIView.setAnimationsEnabled(true)
    }
}

Works for me on iOS 8 and 9, with UIButtonTypeSystem.

(The code is for Swift 2, Swift 3 and Objective-C should be similar)
