GIB Transfers after 1NT Forcing?

Hi,

I recently played with GIB in tournament #7504 and "we" had a disaster on one hand. I opened 1♠ and the auction was
1♠ 1NT
2NT 3♦
Pass

GIB intended 3♦ as a transfer to ♥ and I took it as a natural sign-off.

Although in retrospect I like the idea of transfers here, I sure didn't expect it. Is this a well-known treatment in this auction? I didn't note anything on GIB's convention card or system notes.

Thanks!

If you don't know for sure, hover the cursor over the 3♦ bid and you will see an explanation. GIB has a lot of artifical type bids that you wouldn't expect,

That solves half the problem. But I wouldn't have known that GIB would take 3♦ by me as a transfer in the same situation.
