I normally don't submit GIB trouble reports; if I did, I'd be on here all day.

However, a recent hand has pointed to a trend I have noted for some time with awe.
I consistently note that I open/rebid with an action stronger than others, yet somehow
wind up at a lower level.

Case in point: GIB held A Txxx Jx AJT98x

I opened 2C and over 2D (side note - why does GIB only bid a new suit over 2C when completely inapprorpriate?)
rebid 3N showing 25-27. GIB invited with 4N, which is indefensible of course. With 24, I nearly accepted
but ultimately passed. Lose 9 IMPs. My rebid should have gotten us to 7 (at least 6), not 4.

This is nowhere near the worst I've seen. My personal record is GIB holding AK 7th of a minor and a side AK
PASSED my opening 2N bid.

Thanks for reporting.

It was fixed in v25(current at the moment). It was caused by a bug, crossing invite of 2NT opening with 2N/3N rebid(after 2♣) as here.
