Description
Bug Description
Network lost indicator appears when returning to an idle tab.
Expected Behavior
Although true, this gives the impression that the app is a bit buggy since a user is seeing this lost connection warning fairly often. We should instead only color the dot yellow. And then only show the banner if and when a request to catch up to the current block fails.

Research direction
Start by locating the network-lost indicator and the logic that runs when returning to an idle tab. Reproduce the tab-switching behavior, then verify that the dot turns yellow without showing the banner until a catch-up request fails.
