    2018.4.9f1 is still affected.

    This workaround seems to work for us in the meantime: make sure your sub emitters have a high enough Max Particles setting.

    Example:

    If you have a particle system with Max Particles set to 5, and it has a sub emitter that spawns 7 particles for each parent particle, then the Max Particles of the sub emitter should be at least 5 × 7 = 35.

    I've had this bug since 2019.1.9 for all that are affected.
