What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start with at least two monitored repositories, one with many unread items.
2. Disconnect from network
3. "Check now" and wait for update to try and fail
4. Click in the tree on the repository with unread items.  Note the "unable
to connect message" appearing where the list would normally be.
5. Double-click the message at a position where an unread item would appear
in the list.

>>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected that the message would go away and the list would appear without
further action.  What happens is that the item behind where I clicked has
been selected and marked as read.

>>What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.2.0.296 on Vista Business

>>Please provide any additional information below.
The message is a good idea, but doesn't need to obscure the list.  I think
it would be clearer to display the last date updated on the screen
somewhere (useful for other reasons), and an indicator if the last update
failed.  Hovering on the indicator could display the existing message in a
tooltip, or just "Update at MM/DD/YYYY HH:mm:SS failed.  Click for more
info.".  Clicking the indicator would pop up a larger window with the
original text.

    Thanks for the speedy fix and for implementing my suggestion.  Looking forward for a
    release with this included.

    I guess I should explain myself.  In 1.5.1.382, double-clicking the "could not
    connect" message highlights whatever entry is under that position in the list, and
    marks it read if it was unread.
