Title: Disconnect workflow improvement

have seen feature request #453 asking for a less intrusive disconnect condition. Here is a tentative to enhance this workflow.

* moved all modals to the top (no more in the middle)
* text remains selectable -> this proves to be useful to copy/paste the part that have no yet been synced and avoid painful retyping
* timeout of "visible" reconnection raised to 40 sec
* still retries in the background and restore edit functionality in case of success. (Very useful with the bad network of my school)
* toolbar is greyed out (with an overlay) when edition is not available. It was possible to apply formating even in disconnect mode before !

I'm not fully satisfied by the visual appearance of my implementation so feedback is needed (btw, i know you guys are pretty good at it :) )
