we make the current session status bar float and display generally short messages for all background tasks like: "Waiting Xs to reconnect... [try now]" "Reconnecting..." "Sending message 1 of 10..."

As it is floating, it doesn't pop they layout and mess up the scroll offset of the timeline. Need to find a good place to float it though. Preferably on top for visibility, but it could occlude the room header. Perhaps bottom left?

If more than 1 background thing is going on at the same time we display (1/x). If you click the button status bar anywhere, it takes you to a page adjacent to the room view (and e.g. in the future the settings) and you get an overview of all running background tasks.
