Even if were to try to answer this Q., we need to see the rest of the sentence & any other relevant context.

I removed the tagsingle-word-requests. You aren't actually asking for a word. As to the question, it might be a reference to something like a mouse pointer that draws lines behind it, which fade after a short period of time. These lines that trail the mouse pointer act as an additional visual guide for locating the pointer. It would be similar to how airplanes can have trailing lines (of exhaust) that follow behind them. But without more context, this is just guesswork on my part.

Trailing usually means to follow someone, or to walk behind something.
In IT, if you are referring to code, Trailing Lines would mean the lines that come before a specific line (which is probably specified before the sentence you mentioned.)

Sounds like "traces" to me-- what's left over from something having gone by, over or through something else.
A plane can leave a trail.
A criminal can leave a trail.
Craze lines can leave trails.
Computer data can leave trails.
