Description Stephan Leicht Vogt CLA 2012-06-15 08:42:05 EDT 
When the client looses the connection to the rap server it opens a question box asking the user if the client should retry. The user shouldn't be able to click cancel, because then a ugly error is shown. The user should be presented a nice message on an overlay like the "Multiple browser-instances" message with a link or button where the user can tell the client to retry the request. The user has now the possibility to open a new tab where he can try other urls and look for the source of the "connection lost" problem. The browser message box prevents this.

I like it. With a native "confirm" mesage, most browser are totally blocked, which may be really annoying.
