The method further includes receiving a user input for an element of the user interface. The method further includes determining whether the user input is received within a predetermined duration since receiving the request to update the layout. The method further includes, based on a determination that the user input is received after completion of the predetermined duration, accepting the user input. The method further includes, based on a determination that the user input is received prior to completion of the predetermined duration, rejecting the user input.
