A method of displaying a user activity site contained within an active window in a display screen, comprising:
- detecting whether the user activity site is obstructed by an obstruction;
- and
- if so, displaying the user activity site in a text display area disposed in front of the obstruction.
A method of displaying a user activity site contained within a visible portion of an active window on a viewable screen area of an output device, comprising:
- determining a likelihood that the user activity site will move into an unviewable portion of the active window;
- and
- if the likelihood exists, wrapping the user activity site to one or more subsequent lines on the visible portion of the active window.
A signal bearing medium containing a program which, when executed by one or more processors, performs a method for displaying a user activity site contained within an active window on a display screen, the method comprising:
- detecting whether the user activity site is obstructed by an obstruction;
- and
- if so, displaying the user activity site in a text display area disposed in front of the obstruction.
A signal bearing medium containing a program which, when executed by one or more processors, performs a method for displaying a user activity site contained within a visible portion of an active window on a viewable screen area of an output device, the method comprising:
- determining a likelihood that the user activity site will move into an unviewable portion of the active window;
- and
- if the likelihood exists, wrapping the user activity site to one or more subsequent lines on the visible portion of the active window.
A computer system comprising a display device, a memory and one or more processors configured to execute one or more programs supporting a windows environment comprising an active window within a viewable screen area of an output device;
- wherein when executed, the programs perform a method comprising:
- detecting whether the user activity site is obstructed by an obstruction;
- and
- if so, displaying the user activity site in a text display area disposed in front of the obstruction.
A computer system comprising a display device, a memory and one or more processors configured to execute one or more programs supporting a windows environment comprising an active window within a viewable screen area of an output device;
- wherein when executed, the programs perform a method comprising:
- determining a likelihood that the user activity site will move into an unviewable portion of the active window;
- and
- if the likelihood exists, wrapping the user activity site to one or more subsequent lines on the visible portion of the active window.
