Just came across this in a traveler. Although GIB is known to show incorrect card counts (as explained in Barmar's terrific document, see pinned topic), I've found GIB is pretty religious about following SAYC rules for opening bids. I've never seen a robot open a 4-card major, for example. On this hand, though, at most tables GIB opened 1♦ (which is SAYC) but here for some reason (maybe the strength of the club suit?) opened 1♣. I'm just posting this as an oddity because I've never seen GIB do anything like this before.

This happened only at two tables from this traveler. These two users were using downloadable version and respectively much older GIB version so that bug is corrected in several updates ago, so the current version for all robo tourneys and web version GIB activities as well are ok with that issue.
