In the post editor, please move off the text editing area this occasional warning:

> `This post has been updated elsewhere since you last published! Delete draft and reload.`

The warning is currently displayed at the bottom of the editing area and covers a few lines of text making it nearly impossible to access or change the text, typically the final paragraph or the last few lines of a post.

Intead, please move the warning anywhere else it doesn’t cover the text _at all_, make it dismissable, or at least let me move it elsewhere.

As for the warning itself, it’s confusing. I’m positive I haven’t updated the post elsewhere when the warning shows up. I use only a single browser tab on a single device to visit the Write.as editor page. If the system knows where else the post was updated, I’d appcreciate a link or some indication of where.

Can the priority of evaluating this feature request please be increased a bit? It’s actually more a bug than a feature request as it makes it nearly impossible to access or modify the last few lines of a post in the Markdown editor.
