SUMMARY Well, my Internet connectivity isn't anywhere near good, but I do not expect such an experience when the network is slow. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click on the desktop, choose to change wallpaper 2. Choose to get new wallpapers 3. Browse OBSERVED RESULT At some point I get about half a hundred popups saying "Socket operation timed out". I have to click to close each of them before continuing viewing whatever has been loaded. They'll appear again some time later after I've closed all of them (yes I counted how many popups I've closed). EXPECTED RESULT The transient network error reports shouldn't be modal, blocking further operations from user, especially don't show lots of them. Maybe a closable message bar with a counter showing how many errors have occurred so far, like what browser consoles do with lots of repeated errors.

Could you attach a screenshot when in this state so we can see where they might be coming from?

Thanks!
I have seen this socket error often in the last days on neon unstable. After closing the popup, I see the same error message below the spinner.
