Given all the "discussion" about how acid splash works, I thought I'd post Nefreet's discovery in its own thread so it's easy to see, easy to find:
The Secrets of Magic playtest document might answer this question?
It still has any non-targeted effects that might affect creatures other than the target, and any ongoing effects starting from the moment you hit with the Strike. For example, acid splash would still deal its splash damage to creatures other than the target, tanglefoot’s penalty would last for its normal duration, and vampiric touch still gives you temporary Hit Points. The spell takes effect after the Strike deals damage; if the Strike has other special effects, the GM determines whether they happen before or after the spell.
Although not a specific ruling or errata, it does appear the developers think the Acid Splash cantrip has the Splash trait.

Could be, although the offhand way in which this is stated means that we can't rule out the newer reference being an error.
They would really need errata to the Core Rulebook to confirm this.

Bulmahn when GMing ran it as having splash and I remember the players asking about it as they remembered there was something weird about it. I think it was Band of Bravos.
Good to hear. I'm all in favor of accumulating evidence.
I'mn resaonably sure they intend it to have splash but for some reason they're very slow with errata. I can understand delay caused by typesetting, but it doesn't need that to just post the changes on a specially designate forum thread.
And the synchronized voices of countless gamers cried out in empathy.
