iPhone: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath called several times - iphone

Question

I have UITableView...when user tap on row, another screen is opened. The problem is, that sometimes, I tap once, but didSelectRowAtIndexPath calls several times. How to prevent that ?
The one case how to reproduce that situation is (you even can try to reproduce that on native iPhone settings):
Tap one row but do not release finger
SLIDE few next rows from left to right or from right to left (not just tap, you should slide) next few rows in different order by other hand
Release finger
You will see that blue selection is on several rows, and what screen will be opened is random
UPDATE:
In didSelectRow I just started new controller, where in viewDidLoad synchronization begin.
And if to reproduce my scenario step by step, than synch can be started several times
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
SecondViewController *secondViewController =
[SecondViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController
pushViewController:secondViewController animated:YES];
[secondViewController release];
}

Answer 1

Yes, I find the same situation.
Tap one row but do not release finger.
Keep pressing and moving the finger slightly until the row deselected.
Keep the first finger pressing, and tap the screen some times by another finger.
Release all fingers.
Then you can see didSelectRowAtIndexPath method called several times.
I created a new project for test it, and just used the following code. It was reproduced in every times.
So I think it is a bug of iOS SDK !

#interface SPViewController ()
