Hello, If I go to the Probability function documentation, and evaluate a probability function in the documentation notebook, the probability function works as would be expected, for example: In[0]:= Probability[x == 3, Distributed[x, PoissonDistribution[m]]] > Out[0]= 1/6 E^-m m^3 > So far so good. But strangely, if I open up a new notebook and copy and paste the exact expression from above into it, I get this In[0]:= Probability[x == 3, Distributed[x, PoissonDistribution[m]]] > Out[0]:= Probability[True, 3 \[Distributed] PoissonDistribution[m]] > What could possibly be happening here? Is this a bug?
