I tried flying the plane a few time and got this problem a once or twice. What I do to correct it is set the rate of climb or desent before you
set a new altitude. For example if your at FL300 and want to desend to FL120 at a vetical speed of -1800, set your desent rate for -1800
then set altitude at FL120. I found that whenever I have the same problem you do, this works more often than not. The plane was
probably programmed to, when a new altitude is set, take the vertical speed currently set and reamin at that vertical speed so, if you
change during the desent, your actually setting the vetical speed hold for the next time you change altitude. I'm just guessing for all this
so I may be completly wrong but try it out and tell me how it works.
Hope this helps.
