Summary

We apparenlty have a server issue causing the Mattermost window to go white with no activity on my behalf. View->Refresh recovers it, but how come I have to do that manually?

Steps to reproduce

version 4.2.0 on Linux.

1. Log in and leave it until it goes white - roughly once or twice most days, some days not at all.

Expected behavior

It should detect that it's gone white, create some log bundle for creating issues here, and then refresh itself (with perhaps exponential throttling so it doesn't end up in a wild refresh loop if things are really wrong - for instance, at the server end).

Observed behavior (that appears unintentional)

It goes white and I have to invervene manually.

Possible fixes

Have some sort of monitoring of the webview by the hosting application, so the hosting application can detect when the web app has crashed and can compile log reports and trigger reload by itself.

It should report crashes to the server (once it connects) so the server can compile the reports and notify the administrator.
