Not enough to jump shift, a 2♦ call is fine. Over partner's 2♥ you can bid 3♣ to show extras and finish showing your hand.
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

So far no problem. Bid 2♦, Partner has some stuff here because the opponents are not bidding and they have a lot spades.

2♦. This is a well-known flaw in standard forcing NT auctions, and it comes with the territory. You will miss some 3N's and maybe some 5♦ games unfortunately.
You will hear suggestions for Gazzili in this thread. While this is a sensible treatment it does have some minor drawbacks too.

2♦, and this is easy.
If I had 3541 pattern, I'd be more concerned. But, with 1543 shape, with a partern who did not bid 1♠ or raise me yet, I am not afraid to make a third call.

And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
