Particle systems: curve doesn't control emission rate of sub emitters

Unity Engine
1

Here is a simple setup: PS has PS(1) as sub emitter.

PS emits particles upwards, PS(1) emits particles to the right. So we can see a 2d grid of particles, because each particle of PS emits particles of PS(1):

Now, I’d like to use “curve” to control PS(1) emission rate instead of “constant”. So, I created a curve, but nothing changed:

Each PS particle emits PS(1) particles with the same rate.

But if I use PS1 as an independent emitter, that curve works presisely as expected, limiting emission speed over time.

Question: do I do something wrong, or this is a bug, and curved emission rate doesn’t work for sub emitter?

Works for me. What version of Unity are you using? Can you share the example scene?

Hey, I’m using the last version (5.3.5f1), and it doesn’t seem to work on my side.

The project attached. (Just the project in a zip, is it what you needed?)

So, there’s particle system in the scene, which has a sub emitter, which has a curve controlling emission. And the curve works exactly as the constant do. It seems like even if sub emitter has a curve, only the first (most left) value is used for its emission. So even if we add more keys, they don’t affect emission rate. But this issue doesn’t exist if the emitter is independent.
