I'm afraid Plasma is not supported on Kali Linux.

Running everything as root is explicitly unsupported and never recommended, and will result in a million and a half other little weirdnesses like this.

If would like support from KDE for issues you encounter, I would encourage you to re-install your system with a more appropriate general-purpose Linux distro, such as one of the ones you can see at https://kde.org/distributions. If the issue still manifests after doing so, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!
