Adding an object with VIS_INHERIT_ID vis_flag to another object's vis_contents causes the particles of that object to disappear/not work.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1. Have an object with particles attached and VIS_INHERIT_ID vis_flag
2. Attach it to another object's vis_contents
3. Observe no particles
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
/particles/test
spawning = 2
velocity = generator("circle", 1, 3)
/obj/bottom
icon = 'test.dmi'
icon_state = "1"
/obj/bottom/New()
var/obj/top = new/obj/top
top.pixel_y = 32
vis_contents += top
/obj/bottom/vis_inherit/New()
var/obj/top = new/obj/top
top.pixel_y = 32
top.vis_flags = VIS_INHERIT_ID
vis_contents += top
/obj/top
icon = 'test.dmi'
icon_state = "2"
particles = new/particles/test

Expected Results:
Visible particles.
Actual Results:
No particles visible.
When does the problem occur:
Every time.
When does the problem NOT occur?
So far it seems to always occur.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
I don't know whether it was working in earlier versions.
Workarounds:
Avoiding the VIS_INHERIT_ID flag.
