It shows a double negative:

GIB has a lot of unfixed bugs where it bids cheaper minor when it shouldn't. This isn't one of those cases though.

then why show 11-12 points. just alert double neg.

There should have been a minus ("-") sign in the description, so it should mean less than 11 hcp, less than 12 total points. Still, that's a crazy high number of possible points for a 2nd negative. IIRC, the usual description would be something less than about 5 or 6 points.
