This problem only affects the UIWebView if it is the first subview of the parent view. One alternative way to work around this problem is to add another non-visible empty view to the parent view as the first view. In Interface Builder add a zero size subview and use the Editor->Arrange->Send to Back menu command.

If you're not using Interface Builder, but instead are subclassing the UIWebView, then it can be done by creating a UIView instance variable called scrollFixView and overriding the following methods:

- (void)didMoveToSuperview
{
  [super didMoveToSuperview];

  if ([self superview].subviews.firstObject == self) {
    _scrollFixView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
    _scrollFixView.hidden = YES;
    [[self superview] insertSubview:_scrollFixView belowSubview:self];
  }
}

- (void)removeFromSuperview
{
  if (_scrollFixView) {
    [_scrollFixView removeFromSuperview];
    _scrollFixView = nil;
  }

  [super removeFromSuperview];
}
