 When you change the 'Front page displays' setting on the Settings >
 Reading page, to create a static front page, you will see a ‘hint’ next to
 the relevant page when you view your list of pages (Pages > All Pages).
 i.e. If I’ve set the Front-Page and Posts page, it will actually show this
 with either ‘- Posts Page’ or ‘- Front Page’ next to the title for the
 relevant Pages.

 Additionally, as you’d expect, if you change this setting back using the
 Settings > Reading page, the hints will disappear.

 However, if in the Customizer, you alter these settings from a static
 front page, back to displaying posts on the front page, these hints are
 not removed.

 I've tested this without any plugins enabled and also using multiple
 themes, including default themes such as Twenty Twelve and Twenty Fifteen.

 Steps to reproduce:
 - Visit Settings > Reading page
 - Select 'A static page (select below)' radio button
 - Select a page from 'Front page:' dropdown
 - Select a page from 'Posts page:' dropdown
 - Click Save Changes button to save your changes
 - Visit Pages > All Pages and verify hints are displaying next to the
 relevant pages you selected above
 - Visit Appearance > Customize > Static Front Page
 - Select 'Your latest posts' radio button
 - Click Save & Publish button to save your changes
 - Visit Pages > All Pages and verify hints are still displaying
