    In a previous Unity version, particle systems would not autoplay when in edit mode, and I would have to manually presss the play button to get them to play. I'd like to go back to that, instead of having them autoplay when editing a scene. How can I stop particle systems from autoplaying in the editor?

    Thanks!

    So was it a bug or no? I'm still seeing this behavior in 2018.4.2f1 and wondering if I can disable it.

    I just made a bug report.

    The issue happens when you have 2 objects with particle systems and you select one then the other, the particles will autoplay.
