Bottom 20 pixels wont detect touch events.

[gerakis]

I dont know why, but the very bottom edge of my touch screen refuses to respond to any touch events. Its only about 20 pixels worth. I cant push buttons, scroll a scrollview, or anything. This happens in both the actual device and the simulator. Everything in that area seems to display normally, and I can see it just fine. Every other part of my screen works correctly.

I suspect this has something to do with the status bar at the top. I left it in on purpose, and all of the uiviews that I am using are 460 pixels in length. I have looked around the net a while and cant find any help for this problem.

What would cause this sort of problem? Any tips on how to fix it?

Are you hiding the status bar?

No, I am not hiding the status bar. I purposely left it in the app, as being able to check the time, battery, ect seems useful.

I hid it in interface builder, but I just now tried unhiding it and it didn't make a difference anyway.

Ok, I figured it out. I was using multiple subviews inside a parent view. One of my subviews toolbars was too close to the bottom of the visible screen area. For some reason the touches were being intercepted by the toolbar, but then they didnt work because it was out of bounds.

I just moved the closest subviews further away and now it works great.
