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.
