Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Rocket.Chat server 3.7.1 using Docker, two running instances, Linux, Node.js v12.18.4, and MongoDB 4.2.4, then observe websocket requests and the connecting indicator while idle. Trace the connection and presence behavior from the relevant application entry points; done means the connection remains stable without the connecting bar or online-status flicker.
