Abstract
According to an example, a position of a pointer may be detected to be positioned over an icon of a plurality of selectable icons. A menu containing a set of sub-icons corresponding to the icon may be displayed and a first location and a second location of the displayed menu may be determined. A first line and a second line may be determined and a plurality of points in a movement of the pointer may be recorded. A third line that crosses the plurality of recorded points may also be determined. In response to a determination that the third line is within an area between the first line and the second line, the menu may continue to be displayed while the pointer passes over another icon of the plurality of selectable icons.
