UITableView inside UIScrollView not receiving first tap after scrollling

Question

Brief

I am having an issue with a UITableView inside a UIScrollView. When I scroll the external scrollView, the table<

I've encountered a UITableView with scrollEnabled being NO within a UIScrollView in some legacy code. I have not been able to change the existing hierarchy easily nor enable scrolling, but come up with the the following workaround for the first tap problem:

@interface YourOwnTableView : UITableView
@end

@implementation YourOwnTableView

- (void)touchesCancelled:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {

    [super touchesCancelled:touches withEvent:event];

    // Note that this is a hack and it can stop working at some point.
    // Looks like a table view with scrollEnabled being NO does not handle cancellation cleanly,
    // so let's repeat begin/end touch sequence here hoping it'll reset its own internal state properly
    // but won't trigger cell selection (the touch passed is in its cancelled phase, perhaps there is a part
    // of code inside which actually checks it)
    [super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event];
    [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}

@end

Again, this is just a workaround working in my specific case. Having a table view within a scroll view is still a wrong thing.
