Abstract

A computer detects user input within an input destination and determines whether the user input is continuous. If the user input is determined continuous, then the computer determines whether the input destination receiving the continuous user input has been changed during the receipt of the continuous user input. If the computer determines that the input destination has been changed during receipt of the continuous user input, the computer stores the portion of user input entered after the input destination had been changed in a temporary input buffer. The computer then presents the stored user input to a user and prompts a user selection of the appropriate input destination corresponding to the portion of stored user input.
