Failed message notification not visible when the left panel is collapsed

[kittykat]

Steps to reproduce

1. Collapse left panel (because your device has a small screen)
2. Send message while the network is dropping out
3. Navigate to a different room
   -> Message fails to send
   -> User is not notified of failure while under the assumption that it has sent
   -> Message is not sent automatically when network becomes available again

This is no longer happening. Now the error status badge is displayed on both the user avatar and the space icon for failed messages. 👍
