screen terminal permission denied for certain keys

This is a SlugOS/BE build.

If I log in as a normal user and run screen command to create a virtual terminal. Whenever I am in the terminal, pressing up/down/left/right key don't work. The left-bottom corner of the monitor screen always shows this following highlighted error message:

:  stuff: permission deniend (user <logged in username>)


I had no problem using the up/down/right/left keys if I was root in the screen terminal created by root or if I su to root in the screen terminal created by the normal user.


The only related post I found had something todo with /dev/pty* but my SlugOS doesn't have that. I did chmod 770 /etc/pts/* but the results was the same.

Help anyone?
