Answer 1

Experiencing this problem in iOS 11, but not in 9 or 10, I overrode the func indexPath(for cell: UITableViewCell) -> IndexPath? method using the technique that @drexel-sharp detailed previously:

override func indexPath(for cell: UITableViewCell) -> IndexPath? {
    var indexPath = super.indexPath(for: cell)
    if indexPath == nil { // TODO: iOS 11 Bug?
        let point = cell.convert(CGPoint.zero, to: self)
        indexPath = indexPathForRow(at: point)
    }
    return indexPath
}
