Hello,
I've had the same problem.

Can you try to change to another theme and then change back to the Air theme?
System Settings -> Appearance -> Style -> Workspace

Change the theme there apply and then try Air again. I haven't filed a bug 
report yet, but if the theme is ok after you've reloaded it, it could be a bug 
in KDE.

Best regards,
Martin
