Abstract
A first user input event initiating a transition of a GUI from a first state to a second state is generated in response to detecting a first user input received by the GUI. A first spatial location in the GUI selected by the first user input can be identified. A second user input event is generated in response to detecting a second user input received by the GUI while the GUI is in the second state. A second spatial location in the GUI selected by the second user input can be identified. A level of discontinuity between the first user input and the second user input can be determined. If the level of discontinuity does not exceed a threshold value, at least one user input event handling process can be selected to process the second user input event based on the level of discontinuity not exceeding the discontinuity threshold value.
