Description
### Description
Previous versions provided an error message "Event too large" when you send an event over 65536 bytes. Here's version 1.0.0 for example:
It wasn't a great error but at least gave you some information as to why the event failed to send. I'm not sure when it regressed but Element 1.7.30 just shows a generic event failed to send error. It would be nice if this gave you some more information as to why it failed to send and also remove/disable the resend button since that isn't going to help.
