 Description   

When trying to teleport an area effect cloud, the entity itself is moving, but the particles stay at the position it was before. I tried already applying velocity or teleporting the entity but both methods have the same impact on the cloud. My code is the following:

The output that is produced can be seen in the log, the cloud stays at the same position showed in the picture below. However, the entity gets teleported which can be seen clearly in the log.

Hope you can fix that.

/summon area_effect_cloud ~ ~1 ~ {Particle:mobSpell,Radius:10f,Duration:1000,Potion:"minecraft:swiftness"}
/tp @e[type=area_effect_cloud] ~ ~10 ~

Doing this in single player the cloud does not move either.

Seems like a vanilla issue that the particles ain't updated.
You could try to quickly teleport far away and then back to test if retracking the area cloud effect would change the positions of the particles.
