Why are you logging in as root? This is generally considered to be a bad idea.

Also can you verify using `ls -la` that the files are in fact not changed?

Even with "ls -la" I see no user or group changes.

If it can be useful, when I click on OK in the form to confirm, in the Journal I see this message:
- "plasmashell[4867]: QObject::connect: No such slot DesktopProtocol::_k_slotRedirection(KIO::Job *, QUrl)"
