As @Sharj said, it is a known bug.

The first solution is to disable the Kotlin plugin : Files > Settings > Plugins and unckeck Kotlin.

But if you need to use the plugin, you have to downgrade it to version 1.2.10.

To do so download the 1.2.10 plugin archive on the Jetbrain Plugin Repository corresponding to your Android Studio version. For me it is 1.2.10-release-Studio3.0-1.

Then install it : Files > Settings > Plugins and select Install plugin from disk.... Choose your 1.2.10-release-Studio3.0-1.zip archive you just downloaded and then restart Android Studio.
