So I did the basic thing:
- Place A computer
- Place a 3x3 Montior on the right
- Made a 1 line program:

write("hai")

and then typed in the console
monitor right hai
(the program was also called hai)

Nothing happened. The monitor displayed nothing.
So I tried a few things;
1. monitor right edit hai -> Displays no text, but does give the "Press Ctrl for menu" and Line number
if I typed something on the monitor, like spamming 'd', no 'd's appeared, but if I reopened my program the 'd's were certainly there

ddddddddddddddddddwrite("hai")
2. if I made a 1x1 monitor, everything worked normal as the monitor should be.
3. if I made it 1x2 (width) and ran the program again it works only when the program ran before that on the 1x1 monitor
4. if I made a 2x1 (height) monitor and the same as point 3, it wouldn't work
5. Of course, since point 4, it doesn't work on 3x3 either.
For points 2 up to 5, the same thing applies as what happened in point 1.

I'm running ComputerCraft 1.74 on Minecraft 1.7.10 with Forge 10.13.4.1558-1.7.10

What's happening? XD

Generally, changing your text scale, then changing it back to what you want it to be, sorts it out.

A thank you.
Turning it on and off again actually also worked, uptil now, but not for everything. This worked for the rest. ^^
