Table View Cells jump when selected on iOS 8

Alright, so if you're using the default UITableViewCells and setting custom fonts for the textLabel and detailTextLabel, make sure you either set rowHeight for the table view or implement one of the UITableViewDelegate methods for e.g. tableView:estimatedHeightForRowAtIndexPath:

The same code has worked fine on earlier versions of iOS, but needs fixing on iOS 8 for some reason.

I had the exact same problem! It seems like the iOS 8 SDK uses the estimatedRowHeight, after selecting a row, which then results in a wrong height for the whole tableview, which causes the jumping of the tableview itself.

Not setting the estimatedRowHeight property or implementing the delegate method will fix the jumping bug.

I have not found a clean solution to fix it yet.
