Synchronizing user input with a user interface

A computing device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor device coupled to the memory to:
• receive, at a first time, user input that identifies a selected location on a display device that is presenting a first user interface (UI) at the first time;
• store, in the memory, a user input record that includes a location identifier (ID) that identifies the selected location and a user input timestamp that identifies the first time;
• present, at a second time, on the display device a second UI that is different from the first UI, the second UI including a user-activatable UI portion having an activatable extent that includes the selected location;
• initiate, after the second time, processing of the user input record;
• determine that the user input timestamp identifies a time earlier than the second time;
• and
• inhibit activation of the user-activatable UI portion.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and including instructions configured to cause a processor device to:

• receive, at a first time, user input that identifies a selected location on a display device that is presenting a first user interface (UI) at the first time;
• store, in a memory, a user input record that includes a location identifier (ID) that identifies the selected location and a user input timestamp that identifies the first time;
• present, at a second time, on the display device a second UI that is different from the first UI, the second UI including a user-activatable UI portion having an activatable extent that includes the selected location;
• initiate, after the second time, processing of the user input record;
• determine that the user input timestamp identifies a time earlier than the second time;
• and
• inhibit activation of the user-activatable UI portion.
