uitableview

For some strange reason, UITableView resizes my cells to 320 width no matter how I set the frame for the UITableView object.

Even if I go in later and resize the cell back to 250, UITableView seems to resize it again to 320 some time.

Is there some property or method that must be set / called additionally to get that right?

However, I can add my contents in a way that it looks like 250 width, but my whole layouting code is a big mess since I can't rely on the cell frame width which is "wrong". Also it seems like a big waste of memory since the bitmaps in the layer trees are nonsenseless 320 width instead of 250, even though the frame of the UITableView is not 320 width.
