On the control bar above the rendered image, there is an option to choose the API to render the image with. It must be hidden under the expand arrows in your case. Simply select a lower API to have it render properly.

API 21 is known to mess with rendering as for now and previous versions will render the layouts properly.

Also, please note that the IDE rendering is NEVER 100% accurate and should not be based on in the production cycle, as concrete system compilations may implement some mechanisms differently.
