UIBarButtonItem in Nav bar gets event when touching UITableView

[LiftTubeLogic]

I have OpenGL based game that uses IB for saving/loading games. I have a navigation bar on top with a UIBarButtonItem to exit out of this menu. There is a UITableView placed directly underneath this the Nav Bar and is used to display a list of saved games.

There are times when touching the first entry of the table view activates the BarButton. This bug happens 1 of 5 times. I suppose it should be noted that I'm using custom TableCellViews as well.

I've looked around IB and am completely stuck. I have no idea why that button would get that signal. There's warnings about overlapping geometry for other items but not for these. I don't see how a UIBarButton of fixed height is overlapping a UITableView that is snapped underneath a NavBar.

Please help.
