Android Studio creates this kind of overlay on top of everything else showing part of the code. How to disable?

https://i.imgur.com/M4pgbiw.png[![Android_Studio_overlay][1]][1]
I sometimes get this randomly on top of everything when using Android Studio. These lines show randomly and the only way I have to remove it is by restarting the whole IDE.
Sometimes it's 3 lines, sometimes 6. Sometimes I can double-click on it and it takes me to that part of the code, sometimes it doesn't react at all if I click on it.
Right now, even if I minimize the Android Studio Window, this "overlay" is on top of everything else, even the Desktop.
I've looked online and the only thing that looks like it is the "code lens" option that appears when hovering the scrolling bar, but that's not it.
Does anyone know why does that happen and how to disable it?
follow the steps :
Editor -> General -> Appearance
find : Show Code Lens on scrollbar hover, and disable it
Second option would be : - If you right click on the scroll bar you will see checked the option "show code lens". Uncheck and you are good to go.

Android Studio Debug Watch pane is missing

OK this is really stupid. I have no idea what happened to the debug watch frame in Android Studio. I have 1.5.1 of Studio.
Is there some secret knowledge from intellij to show it.
Here's the icon that #jamesldurham referred to:
Thanks James! I think it would have taken me a long time to find that :/
Ok I with some help there is a button debug menu that looks like a desaturated American flag that when pressed brings it back.
The tool tip will show restore layout.
If you don't want to restore the entire debug layout, the below image is pointing to the "restore watches view" button. It is in the upper right corner of the debug console and looks like a pair of green shaded glasses over a window.
The button to its left restrores the "Threads" view, and to the right restores the "Variables" view.
Unlike previous IDEs the Watch panel is now totally integrated into the Variables panel
And there is no watch the variable option neither in the popup when right clicking on a variable.
The only option is to select the varaible that needs to be watched and drag and drop it onto the Variables panel.
Check that you have the Frames tab selected instead of Development, in the left bottom section.
