SFTP connection to Server dies but Filezilla doesn't realize that.

Hi,
I've been using FileZilla for years now, and there is this one thing that really bugs me. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not.
I use Filezilla Client to connect to my Centos 7 servers using SFTP. I usually leave filezilla idle for a while. And sometimes when I come back to filezilla after maybe 5 minutes, the connection to server is disconnected.
Rarely, filezilla would reconnect to server and everything works well when I do some operations like browse directories. But most of the times, filezilla defaults to just send the browser directories or other commands that I initiate WITHOUT reconnecting to server when the connection was already dead.
This makes filezilla hang there for a long time without any response(as it waits for server response, but the connection was already closed).
I'm just wondering if anyone had experience this. I've tried different timeout settings in Filezilla with 5 seconds or 0 seconds to disable it, but nothing works.
I just wish Filezilla could detect the disconnection and re-initiate the connection process so that the operation commands can be send to the server.
