How do I remove goBack events on UIButtons in UIPageViewControllers?

Question

In an XCode project (iOS 5.1) where I have been using UIPageViewController, I noticed that when I tap on any button the automatic action is to send the goBackevent and flip the page back to the previous index.

I am bewildered by this because checking on the responders for the UIButton they haven't been associated to the goBack event or any other event for that matter.

Any clues on how to remove this behavior?

There's actually no code involved as this is purely on storyboards — Jon Limjap, Jul 07 '12 at 08:36

Ok, after more searching I realized what really is happening.

Apparently the UIButton isn't throwing the goBack event; since the button is in the left field of the UIPageViewController subview a UITapGesture is captured on that region and initiates the goBack event.

The same thing will happen if a UIButton is on the right side of the UIPageViewController, which will cause a goForward event instead.

The details on how to fix this problem is in this question: UIPageViewController Gesture recognizers
