whole scene disappears after particleSystem stopped bug?

[securet]

Playground code: (this is the exact same code as in the particles Tutorial, except for the last view lines (setTimeout() function))

when disposeOnStop is set false, everything works fine

var createScene = function () {
    var scene = new BABYLON.Scene(engine);

    // Setup environment
    var light0 = new BABYLON.PointLight("Omni", new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 2, 8), scene);
    var camera = new BABYLON.ArcRotateCamera("ArcRotateCamera", 1, 0.8, 20, new BABYLON.Vector3(0, 0, 0), scene);
    camera.attachControl(canvas, true);

    // Fountain object
    var fountain = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateBox("foutain", 1.0, scene);

    // Ground
    var ground = BABYLON.Mesh.CreatePlane("ground", 50.0, scene);
    ground.position = new BABYLON.Vector3(0, -10, 0);
    ground.rotation = new BABYLON.Vector3(Math.PI / 2, 0, 0);

    ground.material = new BABYLON.StandardMaterial("groundMat", scene);
    ground.material.backFaceCulling = false;
    ground.material.diffuseColor = new BABYLON.Color3(0.3, 0.3, 1);

    // Create a particle system
    var particleSystem = new BABYLON.ParticleSystem("particles", 2000, scene);

    //Texture of each particle
    particleSystem.particleTexture = new BABYLON.Texture("textures/flare.png", scene);

    // Where the particles come from
    particleSystem.emitter = fountain; // the starting object, the emitter
    particleSystem.minEmitBox = new BABYLON.Vector3(-1, 0, 0); // Starting all from
    particleSystem.maxEmitBox = new BABYLON.Vector3(1, 0, 0); // To...

    // Colors of all particles
    particleSystem.color1 = new BABYLON.Color4(0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 1.0);
    particleSystem.color2 = new BABYLON.Color4(0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.0);
    particleSystem.colorDead = new BABYLON.Color4(0, 0, 0.2, 0.0);

    // Size of each particle (random between...
    particleSystem.minSize = 0.1;
    particleSystem.maxSize = 0.5;

    // Life time of each particle (random between...
    particleSystem.minLifeTime = 0.3;
    particleSystem.maxLifeTime = 1.5;

    // Emission rate
    particleSystem.emitRate = 1500;

    // Blend mode : BLENDMODE_ONEONE, or BLENDMODE_STANDARD
    particleSystem.blendMode = BABYLON.ParticleSystem.BLENDMODE_ONEONE;

    // Set the gravity of all particles
    particleSystem.gravity = new BABYLON.Vector3(0, -9.81, 0);

    // Direction of each particle after it has been emitted
    particleSystem.direction1 = new BABYLON.Vector3(-7, 8, 3);
    particleSystem.direction2 = new BABYLON.Vector3(7, 8, -3);

    // Angular speed, in radians
    particleSystem.minAngularSpeed = 0;
    particleSystem.maxAngularSpeed = Math.PI;

    // Speed
    particleSystem.minEmitPower = 1;
    particleSystem.maxEmitPower = 3;
    particleSystem.updateSpeed = 0.005;

    // Start the particle system
    particleSystem.start();

    // Fountain's animation
    var keys = [];
    var animation = new BABYLON.Animation("animation", "rotation.x", 30, BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONTYPE_FLOAT,
        BABYLON.Animation.ANIMATIONLOOPMODE_CYCLE);
    // At the animation key 0, the value of scaling is "1"
    keys.push({
        frame: 0,
        value: 0
    });

    // At the animation key 50, the value of scaling is "0.2"
    keys.push({
        frame: 50,
        value: Math.PI
    });

    // At the animation key 100, the value of scaling is "1"
    keys.push({
        frame: 100,
        value: 0
    });

    // Launch animation
    animation.setKeys(keys);
    fountain.animations.push(animation);
    scene.beginAnimation(fountain, 0, 100, true);
    //------------------------------------- Bug?
    setTimeout(function () {
        particleSystem.disposeOnStop=true;// if false then everything is fine
        particleSystem.stop();

    }, 1000)
    //--------------------------------------
    return scene;
}

Edit: executed a similar code, in my local environment(babylon.js 2.5) and scene stayed, maybe the problem is based on playground using beta version of babylon.js

Can you please share the playground link?

@Deltakosh I tried @securet's added code (@ line 100) so here is playground

Using the new debug layer it says the two meshes fountain and ground are still there even after they vanish?

cheers, gryff

[GameMonetize]

Fixed!

[securet]

world would be a better place, if we were as good as you guys, ty

Hey DK... do you have time to tell where problem was?  In engine?  Depth rendering system?  I'm curious. 

I made playground just like @gryff... got same discoveries as Gryff, too.  (mesh was still there, just invisible)

Strange and interesting bug/issue. 

Thanks either way.  

Good find, @securet, good fix, @Deltakosh.

It was an pretty insane bug in my caching mechanism in the engine.
