pts/2 is now locked by user?

I use nnn file manager in terminal. I accidentally hit Win+Shift+left in nnn file manager, it entered in the following prompt:

This tty (pts/2) is not a virtual console.


The pts/2 is now locked by username.

What is that? What am I supposed to do?

Re: pts/2 is now locked by user?

I have the sam ething with nnn , and tty (pts/0)  when using nnn.
moreover it seems to occur in my wm which is DWM for wayland.  It happens when I try to move an nn windwow to window numvers 2 and 3 only. AAlos when I try to move a bare terminal to the same windows 2 and 3,  instead of the Mod1+Shift+window numb erbeing utilised,  the letters ;10uc are written to stdout.

I remain puzzeled after weeks and much searching.
