   Connected, Private and the balances all showed no value. Because a disconnected channel moves to

+  the explorer link so a missing `selNode` can no longer blank the dialog. The LND channel
+  information modal had the same unguarded `selNode.settings.blockExplorerUrl` binding (reachable

+  guard was applied there for parity. Eclair's modal doesn't use `selNode.settings`, so it is
+  unaffected.
