I don't see any difference in behavior between iOS 5.0 and 4.3.2 in the simulator, or 5.0 on my phone—the cells disappear in the same way on each. (I'd test on 4.2.1 on my older iPod touch but Xcode 4 can't. Grr..) It looks like there's an easy workaround, though: If you do both reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: after expanding/collapsing your cells and then the reloadData call after that, it appears to preserve the animation.
I had the same issue. I confirm that using no animation when reloading the row works fine.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
