Abstract: In a shared change set server, a receiving section receives information on an undetermined change set and information on users sharing the undetermined change set from a terminal device used by a developer who has developed the change set. Subsequently, a shared change set management section prepares a shared change set containing the undetermined change set and information on users sharing the undetermined change set, and stores the shared change set in a shared change set storage section. A transmitting section thereafter transmits information on the shared change set to a terminal device used by a developer sharing the shared change set.

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.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for displaying overlapping text elements on a graphical user interface. Initially, it is determined, whether a first display elements overlaps a second display element. If, the first display elements overlaps the second display element, then a text stack is created of all overlapping display elements. Only an identified display element is displayed on the text stack. Finally, a scroll mechanism is provided which allows a user to scroll through and display the first and second set of display elements which overlap.

Abstract: The present invention improves application of a style to a view object when a document for a Web page to be edited is edited on a browser-type edit screen. First, a view object is detected from a managed document. Then, a direct style directly described in the managed document and an indirect style identified only by referring to an external document are collected. A browser-type edit screen is generated in which the direct and indirect styles are applied to each view object. The content of the managed document is synchronized with the edited content on the browser-type edit screen based on the editing operations on the browser-type edit screen.
