Jump cue of a major

[SelfGovern]

Opps open 1♥ and your partner jumps to 3♥:

(1♥) - 3♥

 

My reading Way Back When said that this was an 8-trick hand (solid minor, plus the other two suits stopped)

and asked P to bid 3NT if he could stop hearts, else bid 4 clubs pass or correct.

 

Is this others' understanding as well, or do you take the jump cue to show a partial stopper in the bid major?

Standard for this, such as it is, is what you describe - running minor or other hand expecting to make 3N and lacking only a stopper in opponents opened suit.

It says, "I have a H stopper. Pd do you have a solid 7 card minor?"

It doesn't necessarily show a solid minor for me, might as well be solid in the unbid Major. But it definitely asks for a stopper.

 

Your alternative is way too rare to be any useful imo.
