Describe the bug
When the ranger file explorer is used in a vim session, it becomes impossible to use the command :wqa.

To Reproduce using nvim -u mini.vim

Example:
cat mini.vim

" use your plugin manager, here is `vim-plug`
call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'kevinhwang91/rnvimr'
let g:rnvimr_vanilla = 1
tnoremap <silent> <M-i> <C-\><C-n>:RnvimrResize<CR>
nnoremap <silent> <M-o> :RnvimrToggle<CR>
tnoremap <silent> <M-o> <C-\><C-n>:RnvimrToggle<CR>
call plug#end()

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Just fire the ranger instance with <M-o>.
2. Close the ranger instance with q.
3. Try to quit nvim with the command :wqa

Expected behavior
Leave vim with alteration in all buffers saved as usual.

Screenshots
Follows the error menssage when trying to quit the program with :wqa :

Additional context
The error in plain text:

E948: Job still running
E676: No matching autocommands for acwrite buffer
Press ENTER or type command to continue

Thank you for the awesome plugin. Hope this info may help somehow

Thanks for your feedback, I can reproduce the issue in nvim-0.5 but not in the stable version. I think it's the upstream's bug.

You can also reproduce it by nvim +'terminal' +'new' +'wqa'. I will report this issue to upstream latter:)

I see. Well noted! Thank you. For now i will save each buffer individually and quit all with just :qa as it still works.

Just wanted to report that this is still an issue

Yep, still an issue even today, should we wait for neovim to patch this or can we do something ?

I ran into the same issue using :xa, I mitigated the issue with the following line added in my init.lua:

vim.cmd[[cabbrev xa wa\|qa]]

It is extremely crude and I don't know which kind of side effects it could have, but I thought this could be a workaround of sorts. I haven't found any issues with it yet.
