Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that detects anomalous events. During operation, the system obtains machine-generated time-series performance data collected during execution of a software program in a computer system. Next, the system removes a subset of the machine-generated time-series performance data within an interval around one or more known anomalous events of the software program to generate filtered time-series performance data. The system uses the filtered time-series performance data to build a statistical model of normal behavior in the software program and obtains a number of unique patterns learned by the statistical model. When the number of unique patterns satisfies a complexity threshold, the system applies the statistical model to subsequent machine-generated time-series performance data from the software program to identify an anomaly in an activity of the software program and stores an indication of the anomaly for the software program upon identifying the anomaly.

Abstract: An object is zoomed upon selection. A scaling factor is calculated for zooming the object based on current viewing properties of a document and properties of the object as well as the current size of the application window and device. The scaling factor to zoom the object is calculated such that after the object is zoomed, viewing the object is similar to a viewing experience for the rest of the document.

For example, the text may be displayed such that each line of displayed text averages out to a predetermined number of characters (e.g. 50-75 characters) per line. A display size and width of an average character are determined and used to calculate how many columns of text to display within the display. When the zoom level of the text changes, the text is redisplayed.

Upon receiving a query that specifies an interactivity criterion, the interactivity system analyzes the interactivity models to determine whether the interactivity criterion is satisfied. When an interactivity criterion is satisfied, the interactivity system sends a response to the query indicating that the interactivity criterion is satisfied along with the identity of the entity that satisfies the interactivity criterion.

Abstract: Sizing a pane of a window presented on a display. The window is presented to a user on the display. Within the window, the pane is presented at a first pane size. A user input is detected from the user resizing the window. Responsive to detecting the user input resizing the window, a new size of the window resulting from the user input resizing the window is detected. Data is accessed from a machine-readable storage device corresponding to at least one user-defined pane size previously defined by the user to whom the window is presented, wherein the user-defined pane size corresponds to a particular window size. Based on the accessed user-defined pane size(s), a second pane size of the pane at which the pane is to be presented in the newly sized window is determined. The pane is presented in the newly sized window at the second pane size.

If the container constrains the contained element size attribute, the function is passed information identifying how the container constrains the contained element size attribute. If the container does not constrain the contained element size attribute, the function is passed information identifying that the container does not constrain the contained element size attribute. Performing the function on the container further involves determining the value of the size attribute of the container.
