Can't start a pseudo terminal

I can't start pseudo terminals in the xfce4 desktop anymore, why???

The history is that I tried to get data from a Symcode barcode scanner
which appeared with the device name /dev/wskbd3 in the dmesg command, but I
did not get any data. No console could make connection to the barcode
scanner.

I made the mistake to try the same device name as the keyboard, and the
cursor rushed forward. When I pressed a key then the character came in the
pseudo terminal as long as I pressed the key.

I rebooted the Raspberry Pi4 computer, and since then there is no
possibility to start a pseudo terminal for me.

A new installation of OpenBSD 7.2 current did not help.


Best regards
