UITableView setSeparatorInset does not work properly - ios

Question

I am trying to have a custom inset for the separator in a UITableView. Here is my code for viewDidLoad
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.tableView registerClass:[ChatTableCell class] forCellReuseIdentifier:#"ChatCell"];
[self.tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 65, 0, 0)];
}
The cell separator inset does not work properly as shown in the picture. It works for some cells and does not for others. What am I doing wrong here?
This is what my viewcontroller.m file looks like
#import "ChatListViewController.h"
#interface ChatListViewController ()
#end
#implementation ChatListViewController
- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewStyle)style {
//self = [super initWithStyle:style];
self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
if (self) {
self.parseClassName = kChatRoomClassKey;
self.paginationEnabled = YES;
self.pullToRefreshEnabled = YES;
self.objectsPerPage = 25;
//[self.tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 65, 0, 0)];
}
return self;
}
- (PFQuery *)queryForTable {
if (![PFUser currentUser]) {
PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:self.parseClassName];
[query setLimit:0];
return query;
}
PFQuery *query = [PFQuery queryWithClassName:self.parseClassName];
[query whereKey:kChatRoomUsersKey equalTo:[PFUser currentUser]];
[query includeKey:kChatRoomUsersKey];
[query orderByDescending:#"updatedAt"];
[query setCachePolicy:kPFCachePolicyCacheThenNetwork];
// If no objects are loaded in memory, we look to the cache first to fill the table
// and then subsequently do a query against the network.
//
// If there is no network connection, we will hit the cache first.
if (self.objects.count == 0 || ![[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate performSelector:#selector(isParseReachable)]) {
[query setCachePolicy:kPFCachePolicyCacheThenNetwork];
}
return query;

After all my workaround , now fixed in both ios 7 and 8 tested.
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
[customTableview setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(customCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if ([tableView respondsToSelector:#selector(setSeparatorInset:)]){
[tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
if ([tableView respondsToSelector:#selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
[tableView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero]; // ios 8 newly added
}
if ([cell respondsToSelector:#selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
[cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
}
