Android studio automatically open's documentation view

I don't know if it is bug or kind of setting, but it is very annoying while typing value i.e. android:layout_gravity="", it opens hints with dropdown, and after a while the documentation view gets opened and hides the dropdown with hints.

enter image description here

I checked that no button is suspended or anything like that. I use Ubuntu 14.04.

I found out that I don't want to disable the documentation. Instead, I set the window to be 'Opened as Popup',

enter image description here

This displays the documentation aside to the cursor and autocloses it automatically.

Surely I've set it before as a 'Tool Window' to see the full content and then I forgot to set it back.

Note that this functionality has been moved recently. It's now in:

Android Studio -> Preferences -> Editor -> General -> Other.

Uncheck "quick documentation on mouse move".
