Weird iOS bug with UITableViewCell and userInteractionEnabled

Question

I just noticed something very strange with the UITableViewCell class on iOS and the userInteractionEnabled property.

It appears that if userInteractionEnabled is set

I think I found a more convenient workaround for this problem (which I consider to be a bug):

Set the enabled property on textLabel and detailTextLabel manually like this:

cell.userInteractionEnabled = (indexPath.row % 2) == 0;
cell.textLabel.enabled = cell.isUserInteractionEnabled;
cell.detailTextLabel.enabled = cell.isUserInteractionEnabled;
