Description

Everytime the server we use goes down for just 1h it causes a disproportionate amount of confusion for the users.

This is a situation where the end user is not the same as the person who's chosen the server,

This invariably lead to them switching to Automatic selection and compromise any privacy gain that was being achieved by using trusted servers.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Electrum's server-selection and bookmarked-server logic, then determine how fallback should behave when a chosen server is unavailable. Done means a user can opt into trying the next bookmarked server without being switched to automatic selection, with tests covering the fallback behavior.
