I'm logging in via ssh to a more powerful computer, on this I start a screen session with screen -S mine and then open a matlab command line via matlab -nodesktop -nodplash and then run within matlab a long running script. After detaching from the screen and logging out from the computer the script is running using all the CPU power.

Now if I wait quite a while (the matlab skripkt will in total need like 6-7 hours and I don't want to save the matlab session since I would need to load all 15GB to RAM again) and try to reattach to the screen this at first seeems to work.

I get my screen mine back and see the matlab command line, which finished the job, but I can't type anything within the matlab command line? Why is this? I now can't continue and killed it. (I noticed using htop that matlab at first used 100% CPU, in the end still 100% were used but a major part was colored red so used for kernel tasks..)
