virgosrock Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I could "see" 3NT not making based on bidding. Many singletons. So I checked blurb for 4H. Seemed like I was limited. And sure enough Mr. Sunshine the GUBBO headed slamward. At this point just took control so I could drop in 5H. My fault I suppose.

steve2005 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 It is not uncommon for Gib to bid on to slam after a sign-off.Programmers have not addressed this issue.You can find numerous examples posted.Even more haven't been posted.

Hi Steve2005 I don't know most of the time whether it is an existing issue. I can't find myself going thru all past posts to determine whether posted or not.Ideally one would expect such posts to be addressed within a few weeks but I don't think such is the case. Hence I am stuck. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence I am stuck. Sorry. No need to be sorry. As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Many times BBO will attribute a bug to a one-off brain fart by GIB. Repeated bug reports of the same type of problem confirm that the problem is real and repeatable, as well as showing this is a frequent problem worth fixing.

steve2005 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Sorry Virgo. By no means was I suggesting you not report something like this.Just that it is a common problem.In my opinion to fix this problem would essentially mean rewriting program.Which would probably be a good idea :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
