Why is it that when RW fails to connect to my FTP server I get the message BUT all of the blue dots have vanished?

So if I’ve amended say 4 pages of a 10 page website I then have to try to remember which pages I amended or just republish all of the pages which is really irritating.

I think I understand why, as I assume RW saves the changesbefore attempting to publish and hence the clearing of the blue dots, but it would be so much better if they remained if the publishing fails.
