Are you using twilight, if yes then off it. Or just go to settings >apps> click the gear icon > draw over other apps > disable all the permissions to draw over apps.
Or if you know the app, eg twilight, Internet speed meter or virtual soft key, then just disable them. After granting your new app all the permissions, then you can enable them back

If the problem persists, download Button Unlocker from playstore & allow permissions; This should resolve it.

Simple Solution
Make sure this is no drag app Running
App like facebook Message just drag and close it
Or app Like Musicmatch
All apps that stays on your screen while you are running another app.. E. G like browsing on Opera but you still click on the sticky Messenger to chat
Just close messager and app related to what I explain
And thank me later
