Different systems with the same family filter receive different entities.

            entities = engine.getEntitiesFor(Family.all(A.class, B.class).get());
        }

        @Override
        public void update(float deltaTime) {
            super.update(deltaTime);
            System.out.println("SystemAttachComponent " + entities.size()); // outputs 0
        }

        @Override
        public void entityAdded(Entity entity) {
            entity.add(new B());
        }

        @Override
        public void entityRemoved(Entity entity) {

        }
    }

    static class SystemC extends EntitySystem {
        private ImmutableArray<Entity> entities;

        SystemC() {
            super(2);
        }

        @Override
        public void addedToEngine(Engine engine) {
            super.addedToEngine(engine);
            entities = engine.getEntitiesFor(Family.all(A.class, B.class).get());
        }

        @Override
        public void update(float deltaTime) {
            super.update(deltaTime);
            System.out.println("SystemC " + entities.size());  //outputs 1
        }
    }
}

With the above code, SystemAttachComponent receives zero entities, but SystemC receives one entity, is this a bug or an intended behavior?

Sorry for my late reply, I’m using 1.7.3, which is bundled with the newest(I guess) gdx-setup. Maybe gdx-setup needs to be updated? Anyway, thanks for your help ❤️
