pass pass 1♣ 1♦
Dbl 1♠ ...
GIB interpreted my 1♠ bid as "3+D, 11 points, 5+ relay points".
Is this a bug or GIB plays transfers after doubles (XX=♥, 1♥=♠, 1♠= raise)?

Is this a GIB issue? Sounds as if you used one of Todd's FD files :-)

Since the negative double promised both majors, I suspect GIB interprets any major bid by advancer as a cue bid showing a limit raise of overcaller. This may not be the best treatment, but it's logical.

Some playing around with this yields strange results:
P 1C 1D X; 1H = "11- HCP; biddable H; 12- points"
P 1C 1D X; 1S = "3+D; 11 HCP; 12 points, 5+ relay points"
1C 1D X 1H = "biddable H"
1C 1D X 1S = "3+D; 16+ points; forcing to 3N"
just to check, it does play 1C 1D X as "Negative double -- 4+H; 4+S; 7+ points"
So somehow only 1S is a cuebid on this auction, according to it.
However, 1C 1D X 2H is "3+D; 1-H; 16+ points; forcing to 3N" whereas 1C 1D X 2S has no definition.
