The bid of 3D has to go down as one of the worst bids I have seen gib make.
By far.

Sorry, while bizarre unfortunately isn't close to worst call. If Gib ruffs opening should make 3.
Weve seen Gib pass an unusual 4N, cuebids. Let opponent play 4M when 7m is cold. The list is long.

This bid seems to be a bug in hand evaluation.

Surely being at the 3 level at a possibly 4-3 fit can't be better
than allowing opps play 2S.

passing cuebids and unusual 4N seem to be straight out logic bugs.

Yes, bidding 3 bizarre even if cheating and knows p has 5.

Sadly, this doesn't rate an honorable mention in the list of worst GIB bids. :(

I've seen much worse. At least it didn't jump to a grand slam because its 3NT got doubled or that kind of bad bid. In fact, if it only ended up down 1 when NV vs VUL undoubled at level 3, then it didn't even end up doing that bad.

Also, consider this. If it has 5 spades and the other team has a fit, it can tell that its partner has none. So not only can its partner ruff those but it also has more cards in more of the other suits.

I still wouldn't recommend bidding this but it's not that bad.

If it is possible to do "not so badly" at 3D, I wonder what it is doing to 2S ?
