Have you read the explanation for the cue bid? It often shows a higher minimum range than is required for your bids up to now, so GIB simulates it unlikely you won't have a club control.

Thanks for reporting.

Truly GIB knows you don't have A.

But 4 shows first control in diamonds ( void as GIB has the Ace), and 19+TP. With 13TP in GIB it's almost 99% slam area with super-fit displayed (10 cards here for sure).

Having as minimum not more than AJ and A, nothing in diamonds ( as you claimed 1st control which looks like void), these minimum 19TP should represent something like KJ in clubs.

Skipping 4 call currently means for GIB you don't have Ace, but doesn't refuse having KQJ in that suit.

Very likely cuebidding in approved GF situation would be improved in next version - v28. But meantime GIB would rely on aces and won't deduce it might be singleton.
