### Bug description

Two parts to this problem:
- A specific error that doesn't clear itself and just sticks around
- The inability to view the errors in full due to a UI bug

### Steps to reproduce

To create the error (what I did):
1. Copy a folder
2. Stop the sync
3. Delete the folder on the server
4. Delete the folder on the client
5. Restart sync
6. "Temporary error when removing local item removed from server"
7. The error won't ever go away

Observe, too, that with enough errors, the UI breaks, making it impossible to see the folders

### Expected behavior

The error can be dismissed or recognises that with the file being removed both locally and on the server, the error may be non-critical (as long as the removal wasn't due to nextcloud itself - data loss potential)

Additionally, I expect to be able to scroll down the list of errors and access my synced file tree.
