UIBarButtonItem Odd Behavior

[nd049]

Hi Everyone,

I have a music player (sub-class of a UIToolbar) that has 4 UIBarButtonItems on it.

1) Fixed space
2 - 4) Back, Play, Forward buttons

Everything is functioning correctly, except the back button. The issue is that even when I tap the the left of the back button the button is still being pressed some how. The image below shows where I am tapping on the toolbar and where the button is being pressed.



The button also is working if you push down directly on top of the icon. The code that I am using to add these items to the toolbar is:

UIBarButtonItem *bufferSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace target:self action:nil];
    bufferSpace.width = buttonStartX; //buttonStartX = 180
    
    backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRewind target:self action:@selector(previousSong:)];
    playButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay target:self action:@selector(playPauseSong:)];
    pauseButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemPause target:self action:@selector(playPauseSong:)];
    nextButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFastForward target:self action:@selector(nextSong:)];
    
    backButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
    playButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
    pauseButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
    nextButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;     
    
    NSArray *items = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: bufferSpace, backButton, playButton, nextButton, nil];
    [self setItems:items animated:YES];
    [items release];

Any help is appreciated!

The first button is UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace so you wouldn't see it. I am initializing the fixed space and 4 buttons, but I only add three of the buttons to the items array.

UPDATE:

I was curious so I changed the fixed space to 130 instead of 180 to allow a little room on the other side of the toolbar, and I found that the same behavior is happening for the next button as well when there is room. Maybe this is an issue with using a UIToolbar? Any thoughts?
