Remove 28+ HCP possibilities (particularly after NF bids)

Countless times I make a normal bid without checking the description only to see GIB
lose "his" mind and later find out the I've shown 33 HCP or some such nonsense.

This was a recent example.
(2S)-3H-(4S)-5H-6H-7H

After making a NF 3H bid, GIB played me for a 28 count and raised to 7
(still didn't have his raise but ...).

Seems prudent to either remove the possibility of 28+ hands or at least remove
them after a NF call has been made.

I think you're talking for windows version GIB ( that's v21. from 5.2.21 label at the top ). You can use it at table in MBC/RBC likely.

However it's fixed since v23. So it won't be encountered in web version or tourney robots.

Previously it was something like:

Assuming spades were opponents.
old / new
2♠
3♥ - Overcall -- 5+ ♥; 12+ total points / Overcall -- 5+ ♥; 12-19 total points
4♠
5♥ - -- 3+ ♥ / -- 3+ ♥
Pass maybe from opener
6♥ - -- 5+ ♥; 33+ total points / !? -- 5+ H; 19- total points; 13+ relay points
Pass
7♥ - -- 3+ ♥; 7+ total points -- 3+ ♥; 21+ total points
