DidSelectRowAtIndexPath does not fire in SDK 3.0

Question

Hi everyone!
I have iPhone application that works well in SDK 2.2.1 But in SDK 3.0 event didSelectRowAtIndexPath (as well as willSelectRowAtIndexPath) in MyTableViewController does not fire.
I've downloaded "TheElements" sample application and it works fine on 3.0. I figured out that there is a difference in UITableViewCell initialization. So I removed old initWithFrame method and created new one initWithStyle. But no luck. I put breakpoint inside didSelectRowAtIndexPath event but debugger does not stop there.
What other changes should I make to fire didSelectRowAtIndexPath event?
Any help will be appreciated.

Removing touchesBegan and touchesEnded methods from custom cell class resolved the problem.
When we were working on this last June, do you remember if the methods you removed had been passing the events to super? I thought we covered that, but I don't see it anywhere in the thread. In other words, did the methods look like the example below?
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[super touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event]; //<-- pass to UITableViewCell
// cell does something else here
Or, was anything like the following tried?:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[[self superview] touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event]; //<-- pass to super view
// cell does something else here
I still think something about the responder chain must have changed in 3.0, but it seems like one or both of the above methods should still work. If neither of them gets the touches where they need to go, maybe nextResponder isn't the same as superview(?). In that case you might try this:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
[[self nextResponder] touchesBegan:touches withEvent:event]; //<-- pass to next responder
// add extra sanity check
NSLog(@"superview=%@ nextResponder=%@", [self superview], [self nextResponder]);
// cell does something else here
Hope the above sheds more light than confusion!
