Hiding UISearchBar in iOS 7 crops top row

Question

I am calling the following function to successfully hide my search bar in viewDidLoad:

- (void)hideSearchBar {
    CGRect newBounds = self.tableView.bounds;
    newBounds.origin.y = newBounds.origin.y + _searchBar.bounds.size.height;
    self.tableView.bounds = newBounds;
}

but if I call the exact same function in (void)searchBarTextDidEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar the top row of my table view becomes overlapped with the navigation bar. Why is this overlap only happening when calling the hide function from searchBarTextDidEndEditing?

Answer 1

An answer from this question helped me realize this is somehow related to the nav bar being translucent. When I set the nav bar translucent to NO I had the issue. When I stopped making it NO, it works fine.
