It seems the problem is caused by an app 'Floating Notes'

 
That app wants the draw-over permission. 

 
Yes, a classic example.  Looking at the screenshots on Play store, I
want to know what permission it needs to draw beyond the edges of the
screen?

The author is exaggerating his app.  Apparently you can drag notes to
the edge of the screen, and then drag them back when you want to view
them, or maybe the placeholder icon toggles between showing the note
expanded within the screen to collapsing it to the placeholder icon.

With the OP saying it takes quite a while for the pink circled down
arrow to disappear, I have to wonder how huge are the notes the OP has
recorded, or how slow is the sync server (which the app author never
describes nor how notes are kept secret even from the app author).
