Android Studio IDE breaking GUI issue image at - http://imgur.com/dLxz0DU
My Android Studio is showing one or more preview windows generated at the position of the cursor in the Code Editor window. This preview overlays the original work behind it and pretty much renders my entire IDE useless or near useless. Although the preview will disappear upon mousing over portions of it, only to reappear seconds later. Is there some auto-preview window option that might be turned on by default that I have missed entirely?
I apologize if this has been asked before - I had not been able to find the answer previously and this has completely halted my development.
UPDATE: Restarting Android Studio, restarting my machine, and re-installing Android Studio all result in the same issue.
Check enable: File > Power Save Mode
Hope this helps

I know this question is asked a lot. But I could not find any good solution other than increasing memory.
But I don't think that this is my case - My studio just freezes and never responds.
Moreover, design editor toolbar keeps showing in all other Windows apps. I attached a screenshot for you to see how it hangs over a browser window.
Do you even know what this could be? Nothing helps other than restarting Studio.
Thanks,
How can i solve this problem where the interface jumps all over the place?
This happens on Android Studio 1.5.1 (based on IntelliJ), but not on Java IntelliJ IDEA, which is weird.
Update:
It doesn't happen continuously, usually after a few minutes in the program.
A full reinstall and restoring default layout is not solving the problem.
However when resizing the window or when dragging the window outside the visible area of the screen, the layout goes back to normal and mostly when the mouse is moved the same issue appears again.
Update 2:
Since one of my 2 boot SSD's (in RAID0) gave up on life, I was forced to reinstall Windows and so lost all the programs on the C drive... On this new Windows install the interface issue with Android Studio is gone, so the problem was probably a wrong config file or a problem with Java.
I think you can reinstall it.Also you can click shift+F12 first.
I recently switched to Android Studio and noticed that the tool windows have a Docked Mode option when I click on the little Gear icon in each tool window.
I personally prefer the Un-Docked Mode(as the tool window minimizes conveniently when I click in the editor) and set every tool window(except the Project Explorer) to be Un-Docked.
But every time I restart Android Studio it irritatingly converts all Tool Windows back to Docked Mode.This was very easy to do in Eclipse but after searching online for quite a bit, I still don't know how to save the UnDocked mode for Tool Windows in Android Studio. Any ideas how to solve this?
Today's update to Android Studio 0.5.5 fixed the problem for me! Now Android Studio always remembers to save the state of the tool windows!
Unlike #kpsfoo, I want the tool window on the docked mode, but I did something and wasn't able to go back... Finally I went to file > settings > I did search for "docked" in the search box and created a keyboard shortcut. This way I'm able to quickly switch on and off the docked mode.
I hope it could help somebody...
For some reason Android's IDE / Eclipse frequently forgets my customized perspective (mainly: hide right panel, show menu LogCat, Devices, Emulator Control).
There are no crashes or lockups when this happens. I quit Eclipse properly, and the next time I start it up, it's like it was reset sometimes. No error message to indicate what happened.
I've tried saving a new perspective, but that gets deleted too.
Any tips what I should be checking?

as already told in the title, I have an issue regarding the preview tool of Android Studio.
As I install the program, all works fine. I can create layouts and previewing them without any trouble. The problem comes when I restart my computer. Every time, the preview tool disappears (grey unselectable menu option and no other buttons to activate it around) and I can't manage to make it work again, unless I re-download Android Studio and I re-update the SDK. It's really annoying, because it's difficult to project a layout without restarting the computer, looking at what you are doing or loading it every time on the phone.
I've attached a screenshot, can anyone help me? Does anyone know a solution?
as you can see, there is no preview and no button to activate it
What about clicking on the design tab at the bottom of the editor ?
