Description

A decision was made a while back that if a node is disconnected from the cluster, the 'cluster screen' should not be available in the menu in the top-right corner. However, after using the app like this, I now think it was a bad decision. The node is still part of the cluster, even though it is disconnected. Unless the user clicks 'remove', the node is a part of the cluster, so should be able to render the cluster information.
