Help
Admittedly my 1♦ opening was very aggressive, but then things really get away from me with my partner GIB's exceedingly weird 3♦ bid, which according to the description means 4+♦ over W's 2♦ balance. In fact we both had only 3 cards in diamonds, and needless to say the resulting contract was dismal seeing West's 2♦ bid showed at least 5 cards in that suit. I knew we were headed for disaster, so figured I'd pass and hope we weren't doubled.

Surely my partner should pass over West's 2♦ bid, or at very least try 3♣ if GIB was determined to bid.

FWIW, the two no-name viewgraph auctions both went:
1♦=P=1NT=2♥=P=P=3♣ (both down 3).
1♦=P=1NT=2♥=P=P=3♣ (both down 3).

because GIB only takes his own hand into account, he never checks opps' bidding i think:). Same case u will meet in the future. 1H(opp)-1nt(u)-pass-2D=(transfer H) 
. then u have to play 2h against opps' 5-1 suit.

3♦ is definitely bug. It will be checked for fix.
