[kovarex] [0.15.28] "Communicaiton w/ Server failed" Window stays

The "Communication with server failed" Window does not disappear, after I saved the game and reconnected via the main menu.

1. What did you do?
First: "The Communication with server failed" window did not disappear.
I quit the game Server (due to lag).
Then the "Communication with server failed" window appeared (as usual). Because the server stoped/saved for a while I clicked the [save game] button.
Then I saved the game (as usual) and waited for the server to restart.
Then I reconnected via the Main Menu (instead of using the [Reconnect] button): Play > Connect to Server > Connect
The window was present the whole time. I expected the "Communication failed" window to disappear after I reconnected to the game, but it was still present ingame. I was even able, to move the window.

Second: The game crashed. I'm not quite sure how this happened.
This chapter starts after I reconnected to the game-server successfuly.
I didn't press any button of the "comm failed" window, but tried to get rid of it.
I know, I opened and closed the Game-Menu using [Esc].
Maybe I tried some more to get rid of it.
Then the game crashed with an error message (Windows-Window dialogue).

2. What happened?
The "Communication with server failed" did not disappear after saving the game locally and reconnecting to the server using the menu (instead of the [Reconnect] button).
Ingame was the "Comm failed" window still present.

3. What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
The window to disappear after reconnecting to the game.

Environment (Client):
I'm plaing without any mods (server and client).
My Client is Factorio 0.15.28 (build 30646, win64, steam)

I tried to reproduce it, but I couldn't.

When the connection was interrupted and I saved the game, I got to the main menu after that, and the window disappeared.
When I quit the game, I can't get error that the communication with server failed, as I'm already not in the game.

I also found this bug report, that might very well be related to the same bug: 35698
Lets assume that this is fixed for the next version as well.

Yes, the Bug 35698 seems pretty much like the problem I had.
I tried to reproduce this error - but our Server won't time out and so I can't reproduce this error either.

So I think you can close this Bug Report.
