Abstract: A technique and apparatus are provided for managing display windows that are too large for viewing on a screen. A screen manager via a re-positioning apparatus, such as a scroll bar, hardware keys, a separate user-interface widget, or the like, re-positions a display window on the screen. The re-positioning apparatus is not part of the display window. The re-positioning apparatus may be manually or automatically initiated. The screen manager is configured to move a portion or the entire display window to a location that is inaccessible to a cursor on the screen.
