Comment (by juliandoucette):

 There are two good solutions to this in my opinion.

 1. Change the message

 Change the message from Green -> "Page updated. View Page." to Yellow ->
 "Page has changed since last updated. Update Page."

 Potential issues:

 * The edit page can be modified significantly by themes and plugins. The
 user experience can be inconsistent if a plugin or theme implements meta
 boxes or modifications to the edit page that don't trigger this message to
 change.
 * It could be complicated to determine when to change the message. Is it
 when the user focuses on a field? Is it when the user changes the field?
 Note: if the user changes the field, and then changes it back, the message
 is no longer true.

 2. Change the notification system

 In the long run, I believe it would be a better idea to implement a
 message tray system for these types of notices.

 The system could work like this:

 1. A notice appears in a fixed position from the bottom centre of the edit
 screen
 2. The notice remains until it is cleared or a set amount of time passes
 3. The notice disappears

 Notices stack if more than one are visible at a time.

 I believe that these notices are better than the notices currently being
 used for the purpose of status updates like "Published", "Updated", etc.

 This experience should be familiar to (at least) Android users.
