Adding UITextfield to UITableviewCell causes detailTextLabel to slide "up" - ios

Question

I'm trying to add a UITextField as the contentView of a UITableViewcell. It works, and the field has focus, but the detailTextLabel slides up 10px. What's the deal here? As a secondary question, is there a better way to create an in-line edtiable UITableViewCell?
Here's my code. I'm trying to do this as result of a double tap on a tableview cell. I retrieve the actual cell that was tapped like this:
CGPoint swipeLocation = [recognizer locationInView:self.tableView];
NSIndexPath *swipedIndexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForRowAtPoint:swipeLocation];
UITableViewCell *swipedCell;
Then I try to add my textfield like this:
swipedCell = [self.tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:swipedIndexPath];
NSInteger indent = swipedCell.indentationWidth;
UITextField * newText = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(indent, swipedCell.contentView.frame.origin.y, swipedCell.contentView.frame.size.width, swipedCell.contentView.frame.size.height)];
newText.font = swipedCell.textLabel.font;
newText.text = swipedCell.textLabel.text;
newText.textColor = [UIColor grayColor];
newText.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
swipedCell.textLabel.text = #"";
[swipedCell addSubview:newText];
[newText becomeFirstResponder];
Not entirely unlike yours, except that when I apply your code, both my text and the detaillabel end up in the center of the cell.

Without out seeing your code it's difficult to know what's going on. Here's the code I use to make a UITextField as a contentView cell that works without issue, hopefully it helps.
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"TaxCell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
CGFloat optionalRightMargin = 10.0;
CGFloat optionalBottomMargin = 10.0;
UITextField *textField = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(275, 10, cell.contentView.frame.size.width - 270 - optionalRightMargin, cell.contentView.frame.size.height - 10 - optionalBottomMargin)];
textField.placeholder = #"Placeholder";
textField.delegate = self;
textField.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
textField.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
textField.text = #"Textfield text"
cell.textLabel.text = #"Textlabel text"
cell.detailTextLabel.text = #"Detail text";
[cell.contentView addSubview:textField];
return cell; }
