Hm, that's a property of the font. If the font's metrics
say it has this and that margin, characters above that value will be 
cut. 
If changing or correcting the font is out of question, a workaround
might be to add "multiline" to the .edittext parameters and add a 
newline in front of the number.

I haven't tested it, but what should work is putting a .sprite around
the .edittext, and then using ActionScript to set the desired text:

    .sprite frameNoSprite
        .edittext debugtext text="0 fs" font=Alberta size=50% readonly
                  variable="mytext" width=100 height=200 border color=blue
        .frame 1
        .action:
            mytext = "\n" + _root.displayNumber + " fs";
        .end
    .end
