You probably have multiple versions of bash installed.  One of them,
which you invoked by typing "bash -version" from a command shell, is
version 5.0.11.

The other, which is your login shell as used by your terminal emulator,
is very likely bash 3.2.

Yup.  Your login shell is still pointing to the original bash, not the
other bash.
