Description

System Information
Operating system: Windows 10
Graphics card: gtx 1070ti

Blender Version
Broken:
2.80
Worked: (optional)
2.79b release

Short description of error
The show emitter button on render tab in particles settings doesn't do anything in render preview, both in eevee and cycles. It makes shading of volume emitted particles quite difficult, you always have the emitter over. Workaround is to go to object properties and choose "bounds" in "display as" list, and switch to lookdev mode.

It worked back in 2.79b render preview with cycles.

There is a separate setting for the viewport in the Viewport Display panel.
