Autosave Notification not dismissible

[ahortin]

If I make changes to a Post/Page and then decide I don't want to keep those changes, I'll simpy click away from the edit page.

The next time I decide to edit the page, I'm prompted with a notification advising "There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below. View the autosave"

The only option I'm given is to view the autosaved version. This notificaiton should be dismissible. I shouldn't have to view the autosaved version when I already know that I don't want it. I also shouldn't have to resave the page, just to get rid of the notification.

I would like to see a Dismiss icon/link so that we can dismiss the notification for good. When developing a theme or plugin, we're required to make all notifications dismissible. There's no reason why core notifcations shouldn't follow the same rules and also be dismissible.

The notice needs the notice is-dismissible classes adding.

Patch doesn't work. The class should be is-dismissible not is-dissmissable. Note "...ible" not "...able"

Fixed the typo in class name

I fixed the typo in class name.

@johnbillion Just curious. The version corresponds to WordPress version right? In that case why it is changed to 4.2 from 4.9?

Thanks for catching my typo.

I think the version number applies to the version when this issue was introduced.

The new diff 42696.2.diff does allow you to dismiss the notification, but the next time you edit the post, the notification simply displays again.

Is it possible to also remove that last auto-save revision from the db so that the notification doesn't constantly reappear? By dismissing the notification, the intent is that it's not wanted, so it seems kind of annoying to constantly re-prompt the user about it.

On a side-note... It would also be great if the new auto-save message in the Customizer also removed the last auto-saved revision as well, when you click that Dismiss button, as it keeps constantly coming back every time you go into the Customizer. Like the auto-save message above, I shouldn't have to edit something and click Publish, just to get rid of the message permanently.

still having the issue at WordPress 6.0.1, it can't be dismissed and you have to update the page every few minutes to get rid of it, some pagebuilders and also js page analysers are giving errors because of this.
