Description of N's 4♦ 4+♦ 11+ hcp
has 2♦ and 7♥ so something went wrong
Your 3♣ is not good, you have a min with 1 4-card major you should bid ♠ so you don't end up in a 4-3

4D?? Another candidate for the strangest bid ever made by GIB. Why can't it just jump to 4H over the double?

There are so many inexplicable bids that GIB makes it's hard to keep track of them all. My favorite was when I opened 1♣ with a 5 card club suit and 13 count, LHO overcalled 1♠, and GIB made a negative double with 8 card club support. I was stunned when I gave a sluff-ruff on the opening lead.

I think that there is a case for saying that the North hand is too strong for an immediate 4H over the double, and risk of missing slam. That does not excuse the 4D bid, mind.

It's ridiculous that GIB bids that way, but at least we now have an idea of what it actually has, based off of these two hands.
When the auction goes (1m) - X - 2m ; 3m - 4om, 4om is a transfer to Hearts.

That's all fine but if the description isn't corrected it wont help most people.
And what is just bidding 4♥ does that show ♠?
Also what if your fit is in the other minor, is there any way to play in that suit?
