Description
When mosh loses contact, it becomes very difficult to tell what's in the queue to be sent once connection is reestablished. I'd like the overlay row at the top to expand to show the input still to be sent. Something like:
mosh: Last contact 14 seconds ago. [To quit: Ctrl-^ .]
cd fo<TAB>ba<TAB><ENTER>
lll ba<TAB><^A><DEL><^E><TAB><TAB><ENTER>
Thanks for considering.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the disconnect overlay that displays the last-contact message and the input buffer used while the connection is unavailable. Done means the overlay shows the queued input in a readable form during loss of contact, as illustrated in the issue.
