The CI's come out fine in 16.0.2.

According to our bug database, there was a problem with the display of the CI table in probit, and this was fixed in the 16.0.2 patch.

Quoting the bug notes,

Look at the Confidence Limits table. It appears to be empty. Only if you edit it and select a value do you see the value. Even resizing the columns doesn't help.

This can be fixed by the user by selecting all cells and formatting them in the cell properties tab.

Regards,
Jon
