I abstain as well, this one was indeed easier.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Well, I guess this must be a 2/1 GF auction, or 3♣ might be passed. Now I have to worry that 3N might be passed, since partner can have no idea that I hold such a moose.
I would hope that 4♣ was minorwood (RKC), but if not, I would try 4♦.

I'd go 3N
Me too.
My hand is nice, but lacking aces. Heart values in partner's hand wasn't exactly what I'd like to hear. 3NT implies (slow) diamond values. If partner goes on I'll cooperate.
Kind regards,
Harald

I belive this 3♣ shows extras (15-20), so it's forcing. A direct 3♥ over 2♣ would be more like 18-20. Right, Gonzalo?
Anyway, 3NT now

sorry for not explaining, 2♣ is GF, 3♣ shows 4 cards or more but nothing else.

I bid 3NT, but I found it not so obvious, and took my time.
This ended up with UI problem and althou I think partner's reopening of 3NT is rather obvious, he decided not to.

Well, you've only got yourself to blame here.
Your slow 3NT bid suggested that 3NT may not be the right conract, and let's look at things from partner's point of view:
a) Void in your first suit
Jxx in the unbid suit, a notable weakness
c) Not many undisclosed values, given that 2C was game forcing.
I certainly wouldn't argue with partner's pass.
