The explanations of North's two bids are the same: "4+H; 7+ total points". Shouldn't the 4♥ bid be showing more?

I wonder if there's just a general problem when it switches to simulation mode. If it makes a bid based on simulation, there's no database containing an explanation -- it's the old "I bid what I think we can make". So it just reuses the explanation of the last database bid.

Maybe this is another one of those where GIB could have either more hearts or more points than shown by the negative double, so the description of 4H can't really increase either of the two numbers provided?

That thought also crossed my mind, although it seems like it would need a whole lot of hearts to justify a jump to 4 with only 6 HCP. They need to be able to put "OR" in the explanations. But it's already a problem that some explanations are too long to see the whole thing, and this would just make that worse.
