Abstract
A hover section is displayed upon a GUI following the lapse of a hover grace period interval that is dynamically adjusted. A default hover grace period interval is set and increasing if a hover display module determines manipulations of the GUI indicate the hover section was displayed in error and is decreased if the hover display module receives a decrease hover grace period interval event. By dynamically adjusting the grace period interval, future hover sections may be displayed to better reflect the GUI user's intent.
