I have a UITableViewController as the root view controller in a UINavigationController, which is in turn one of the view controllers in a UITabBarController. All hooked up in Storyboard.

I've configured the UIRefreshControl for my table in Storyboard as well, and normally it looks like it should when pulling:

Normal UIRefreshControl

However, if I switch between my other tabs once or twice, it looks like this:

Buggy UIRefreshControl

It's not spinning or anything, just stuck "full", and it stays that way until I pull fully and trigger a refresh.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciate.

user2009606 was almost right, I fixed it by calling

[refreshControl endRefreshing];

On 

viewWillAppear:

The refreshControl now behaves properly after switching tabs, independent of its state.
