Hope this hasn't been reported already, but here is a hand from a tournament: http://tinyurl.com/4xgohj5

In short, holding 4-4 in majors and opening 1N,the bidding goes thus (opps passing) 1N--2C--2H--3N--4S (robot is responder). What does bot come down with? 4 hearts and a doubleton spade. Yikes. Unless I am missing something, that's not exactly a proper Stayman sequence.

Thanks (and let me know if you need more info to fix, or I misunderstood something...even the tooltip on the bid says it promises 4S).

Hi Chuck,

Welcome to the forums. I believe that this is a bug that has been fixed and will be changed in the new release of GIB. It is definitely an incorrect bidding sequence.
