Do a search on the PMDG support forum. I have seen a post about this. I think it is caused by screen resolution or some other display setting.

Enlarge the FMC window. Also, if you put your cursor toward the bottom of the number, you will get the correct input. The hotpoints for the lower numbers seems too close to the upper numbers if the FMC window is not enlarged. You can also use the keyboard of your computer to enter the information into the FMC. Just click on the black bar on the right of the FMC and the keyboard becomes active. Be sure to unlock it when done or bad things will happen in flight if you have keystrokes assigned to aircraft functions.Jim D.
