You could have bid 3H, so how could 4H not show extras? I assume you mean that the explanation is incorrect, not indicating extras.

I saw something similar recently, no opposing bidding, 1D-1H, 1S, both 2D and 3D were shown as 6+!.

Attention BBO: This summer I offer my services to review all explanations of GIB auctions to eliminate obvious errors and situations where the various options are not consistent or do not cover most normal hand types. I will not charge an outrageous hourly rate, which can be negotiated. Does BBO really want to improve GIB? If so this is a task that must be done by someone.

Interestingly, here is a hand where a jump in a very similar situation is described as showing extras:

I thought I had plenty for 4S but GIB drove to the poor slam, and both black queens were with the preemptor. Oh well.

Hmmm... I would like to know the explanation of the difference between those two situations.
