iOS 7 UITextView link detection crash in UITableView

Question

I have a custom UITableView cell set up in my UITableView like this:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellFo

I could reproduce your crash. Implementing the following method within the TableViewCell subclass

- (void)prepareForReuse
{
    [super prepareForReuse];
    [descriptionLabel setDataDetectorTypes: UIDataDetectorTypeNone];
}

and add following call within - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath before setting the text:

[descriptionLabel setDataDetectorTypes: UIDataDetectorTypeLink];

worked for me. Maybe it cancels ongoing drawing inside the textview and is avoiding the crash that way.

edit: Calling [descriptionLabel setDataDetectorTypes: UIDataDetectorTypeNone]; and [descriptionLabel setDataDetectorTypes: UIDataDetectorTypeLink]; just before setting the text also seems to fix the crash
