Hi all!

If your Tor connection fails (-1% - tor cannot detect underlying network), as it occasionally does, you must reset it by clicking three times across the UI (back --> Settings --> Reset). It would be nicer to have

a button inside the conversation pane to reset Tor (if the connection failed) or
a notification which, on clicking (or something), would retry the connection.

I personally don't know if any of those options are good (or if other options are way better) but those are my thoughts about that. I also don't know if that would be a reasonable feature.

Cheers!
