UIView's frame origin.y = 0 but displayed at origin.y = statusBarHeight

Question

i have a main view containing 3 subviews and i have a strange behaviour with the last one. I set its frame origin to 0,0 and it appears 20px under the statusBar. To fix the problem i have to set frame.origin.y = -20 . How is it possible? The 2 other views are correctly shown...

Answer 1

How is the problematic view constructed? If it comes from a nib or a storyboard, have a look at the 'simulated metrics' for the appropriate item -- you may have a status bar enabled the view in question. If so, try setting 'None' for the status bar.
