[MC-47799] "type" selector in "particle" command won't work with some entities.

I've tried to use the "particle" command to spawn some particles to a WitherSkull entity, but it didn't work, I tried as well to spawn them to a SmallFireball entity, with the same result.
I found this bug also in other commands, but I'm not sure about them.

Command used:
/particle wake ~ ~2 ~ 0.2 0.45 0.2 0 40 @e[type=WitherSkull]

wait. how did you spawn a wither skull without it vanishing?

/summon WitherSkull ~ ~ ~ {direction:[0.0,0.0,0.0]}

In this way, the Skull is invisible and you can't interact with it.

so it still vanishes after 0.1 sec?
im trying to find a way to spawn it so it works normally

It become invisible, but still exist.
Try to spawn one with a different direction, it will fly in that direction. You can't see it, but when it collide with a block, you will see the explosion.
If you want to spawn it and be able to see where it is, you can try to stack a visible entitiy with it.
