I have used many uncomplimentary words and phrases to describe GIB's bidding misadventures, but I believe this is the first time that "unfair" has come to mind.

I actually don't mind the 3S call with GIB's hand, it is sensible. But not when it is described as 3S, 11-12 HCP! I am certainly justified in Blackwood with that description.

A simple fix, no programming change needed. Just fix the description.

It is a description of North's programmed bidding plan after most expected rebids, apparently. NorthGIB seems to know what to do if opener jump-shifts, just not how to shift gears in the disclosure box. That might not be an easy fix.

4 is 11-12. 3 is mere preference.

Gib is bidding right but the descriptions are wrong should be easy fix of the descriptions

Is it clear that North prefers spades? If South is 5-5, should he bid 4 over 3 to show this? On this hand, the 5-3 fit plays better, although I suppose there might be times when the 6-2 does.

Yes opener should rebid 4H with 5-5. You don't want it raising H with 3 since opener may have only 4. The false preference keeps options open.
