I'm using a UILabel for the titleView of a navigation bar (I'm making simple in-app web browser). It works fine, except that when I present a modal view controller, the titleView shifts from the center of the navbar to the far left (underneath the back button). I've tested in 3.0 and up. Here is relevant code: - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Title view label CGRect labelFrame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 120.0, 36.0); UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:labelFrame] autorelease]; label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14]; label.numberOfLines = 2; label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; label.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor]; label.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0, -1.0); label.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeMiddleTruncation; self.navigationItem.titleView = label; } -(void)displayComposerSheet:(NSString*)mailto { MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init]; picker.mailComposeDelegate = self; [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES]; [picker release]; } Screenshots: http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/7968/titleviewshift.jpg Any idea why this is happening? Thanks.
