Particle System prefab doesn't simulate when in prefab mode and the Editor is playing but paused

Visual Effects - Legacy

-

Reproduction steps:
1. Open attached project "LinxuPrefabBugs_2019_4.zip"
2. Enter Play Mode
3. In Project window, select Assets/Particle System.prefab and open prefab Edit mode
4. Pause Play Mode
5. In Scene View, observe ParticleSystem GameObject

Expected result: The Particle system continues to be simulated
Actual result: The Particle system is not simulated

Reproducible with: 2019.4.29f1, 2020.3.13f1, 2021.1.13f1, 2021.2.0b1

  1. Resolution Note:

    We need to consider a lot of changes in order to support this. Pausing playmode suspends a lot of the core Editor update, and the team in charge of that are not sure if it is a workflow they want to enable.

    I appreciate this is probably frustrating, as the situation you have hit is definitely a valid workflow with how Edit mode/Play mode works in the current version of Unity.
    While we are not fixing this issue right now, we are considering how this use-case fits into our larger vision for how the Edit mode/Playmode will evolve, in relation to prefab editing.
