UITableView scroll position wonky when combined with a UISearchController and UINavigationBar

	@PeterKaminski09 Apr '20 I'm running into this issue involving a `UINavigationController` with a root view of a `UITableViewController` that sets a `UISearchController` in the `navigationItem` The position of the content in the table view looks fine, until you push a new view controller onto the navigation stack and pop back to the root, where it looks like the contentOffset of the table view gets adjusted incorrectly. I am able to fix it by setting `navigationItem.searchController.isActive = false` after pushing the new view controller onto the navigation stack, but I would like to understand what's happening under the hood to cause this Relevant code: `private func showReviewViewController(with book: Book) { guard let reviewViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ReviewViewController") as? ReviewViewController else { return } reviewViewController.viewModel = ReviewViewModel(book: book) reviewViewController.delegate = self navigationController?.pushViewController(reviewViewController, animated: true) /// This fixes things, but why? navigationItem.searchController?.isActive = false }` 3
	@lahariganti Apr '20 How are you setting the search controller? `let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)` 3
	@PeterKaminski09 Apr '20 Here's the search controller code `private func setupSearch() { let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil) searchController.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = false definesPresentationContext = true navigationItem.hidesSearchBarWhenScrolling = false navigationItem.searchController = searchController searchBar = searchController.searchBar searchBar.delegate = self searchBar.placeholder = "Search by author or title" }` 3
	@Gakkienl HWS+ Apr '20 I have the same behaviour in my App, looking for a fix as well ... 3
	@hdes93404lg Jun '20 Try~ extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true 5
	@MrMakeItHappen Jul '20 @hdes92404lg's solution worked for me 3
	@maningyt Sep '20 `edgesForExtendedLayout = .top extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true added above 2 lines in viewDidLoad will resolve the problem. Took very long and found this solution from another website.` 3
	@27z Sep '20 @maningyt it works. 3
	@Gakkienl HWS+ Sep '20 Doesn't work for me, at least not on 12.9 inch devices: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64063846/uisearchcontroller-as-navigationitem-obscures-content 3
