EDIT

It seems like the issue is solved in Android Studio 2.2.3. If for some reason you still see this problem, the solution below works.

Original answer

I found a reasonable solution for now. The problem is mainly in the launcher, not the emulator itself. So installing a different launcher can fix the issue. I installed the GO launcher from here: http://www.appsapk.com/go-launcher-ex/

Just drag and drop the apk on the emulator and install it, then tell the OS to use it as default.

I am not sure if this specific apk is a legal copy of the apk, but anyway it solves the issue for me and there are many launchers out there

good luck.
