UITableViewCell not always selectable?

Question

I'm in the middle of trying to debug an issue with a new app, and something isn't right. In the app, I'm setting up custom UITableViewCells by adding 2 UILabels and 1 UIImageView directly to the cell.contentView

In my app, certain table view cells werent selectable ( they werent responding to tap events ). The 2nd cell on the screen was always never selectable, and then random other cells also werent selectable.

In my effort to debug, I stripped everything down the following bare essentials of code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
  static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"ReviewCell";
  UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
  if (cell == nil) {
    cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;
  }
  cell.textLabel.text = @"foo";
  return cell;
}

Even this is generic, boiler plate code, that looks like the following:

not all the cells are selectable.

What am I missing?

update

as an updated here is my row selection code if interested

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    ReviewWebViewController *rvc = [[ReviewWebViewController alloc] initWithReview:[self.reviews objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:rvc animated:YES];
    [rvc release], rvc=nil;
}

A lot of things have been mentioned, which I will not re-iterate.

But make sure that the elements you add to the UITableViewCell have their userInteractionEnabled set to NO. Especially when not using IB, never make too many assumptions about defaults.
