Opening File Browser -- Issues

Whenever I try to open the file browser(albeit not often, but still relatively frequent), the mouse cursor changes to the "Busy" state, and two windows minimize to the taskbar. One is the actual browser I was trying to open, and the other is a non-existent window called "Opening root". This second window stays on the taskbar for about 15 seconds, and that entire time, the mouse cursor is in the "Busy" mode(the circle loading). As soon as that window closes, then the cursor returns to normal behaviour.

Any ideas why Kali is doing this, and how I can fix it? I'm using the KDE version of Kali.

The KDE is a bit buggy.

Open up a terminal and try and open it up that way. Or select the 'ROOT' file from the menu and browse from there.
