UX : when a tab is locked, the language used is scary

[estellecomment]

Steps to reproduce

1. Where are you starting? What can you see?
   Open two element-web tabs, switch to the second, which locks the first. Go to the first tab, it is now locked. (as expected, this is fine)

Outcome

What did you expect?

A message that is friendly (since nothing bad has happened) and explains what to do next.

Something like this :

What happened instead?

A message that is scary ("Error", and no details about what the error is, so lack of info stresses me out) and does not explain what to do about it. So I am scared that something is wrong, when actually things are functioning as expected.

Thanks for raising the issue. I've asked design for better texts.

I've been in a similar situation and agree.

Thank you @estellecomment
Slight revision from your proposal:
Title: Element is connected in another tab
Body: Switch to the other tab to connect to Element. This tab can now be closed.

@weeman1337 Good to go
