I suspect that "forcing" meant "forcing to game." 3♦xx is game.

I guess this is what happens when you try to make up for passing in third seat with 16HCP.

Thanks for reporting.

Fixed in v28.

Problem was a missing part of 3♦ explanation. And it's showing fit in both majors.

Corrected so 3minor cue shows now: 3+ ♥; 3+ ♠; 11 HCP; 12 total points; forcing ( only 12 because you have passed )

GIB passed just because fit was not shown.

Now would be able to handle easily.
