I just found that it is possible to set MAX ALT to 18,000ft using the
pop up keyboard. After exiting the menus and then returning to MAX ALT
setting, the value 17999 was displayed. 50000 was also enterable and
was displayed as 50000 on returning to the menu. (Don't touch the up/
down buttons though or the display will immediately revert to 15000.
Use OK to exit and retain the keyboard entered value.

It will be interesting to see if the warning is now based on the
displayed altitude or whether 15,000ft is still used.

The problem that the warning disables the user interface will still be
there though but, if the warning is based on 18,000, the priority
should be to descend below the alert altitude before attempting any
other GNII input.
