Typing numbers in the EFB has effects in the built-in ATC menu (and thus on the radio)

Describe the bug

When typing a number in the EFB (at least in the performance calculator), this number seems to be input in the MSFS default ATC menu (even though that is not open).

This causes the radio frequency to change randomly (extremely annoying on a VATSIM flight) and/or the MSFS ATC to start talking randomly.

Expected behavior

Typing numbers into the EFB should have no side-effects.

Steps to reproduce

Have the ATC menu enabled (but not necessarily opened) in MSFS
Tune a certain radio frequency
Focus on the EFB (performance calculator) and type a number (I guess 1 has the most chance of doing something)
Observe the radio frequency changing and/or built-in ATC conversation starting

References (optional)

I looked up one example from one of my streams, will try to find one where the default ATC started talking too:

Start, visibily dialed into 133.225: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1120284512?t=00h19m08s
Last transmissions can be heard on 20m22s
Typed in performance calculator on 20m40s
No activity until 22m15s, where I am suddenly on 127.600
No idea why that frequency was picked (see the frequency overview later on 24m29s, it's not even listed)

EDIT: another even clearer example, see https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1113043109?t=00h26m45s

I am on 123.275 (transmissions audible), I type in the performance calculator (10000), and then when the view switches back you see I am on 127.600 yet again.

Check your key bindings - ingame ATC has mappen 0-9 since SU5 - remove those

Sure, I could do that, but as far as I know the EFB is supposed to prevent all default keybindings for a while now already. Typing letters isn't an issue anymore.

Only the case for some text fields, others still do not have the focus locked, and will activate keybindings.

Good to know; then I guess that is the issue to address, or if it's not possible it should be clearly listed in the known bugs / installation instructions which keys should not be used.
