System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 452.06

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.92.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2020-10-23 11:34, hash: e4728d0a16
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
In the particle system, when you change the particle type form Emitter to Hair and then back to Emitter , the "Viewport Display" panel does not change back accordingly - it remains as if the Hair-type emitter is still present.

it would be just as easy to create a new particle system with the right settings, to remedy this situation

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

create a particle system on a object
Observe the properties of the "Viewport Display" panel
change the particle type form Emitter to Hair (properties have changed accordingly)
change it back to emitter
Viewport Display won't show Options Particles have, instead it will show Hair Options like "Strand Steps"

From my investigation of the bug, the Render As in Render Tab is changing from Halo to Path but remains Path when switching from Hair to Emitter.

So, @ME2 a quick workaround would be to manually switch to Halo again in the Render tab.
