FIXED: field COMP crash: when text TOP not visible

this bug is very straightforward to reproduce.

  1. I create a field COMP from the create panel
  2. I clear the background top param in the field comp so it’s black
  3. I go inside the field COMP, and open viewer
  4. then I turn off OP viewer for TOP “text”
  5. then I start using the field comp (blindly) and it crashes touch pretty quickly.

This might seem like a weird thing to do in the first place ! but I’m attempting to build my own lightweight renderer (glsl) and I’d like to be able to use the field COMP with out the text TOP but it seems like it’s not designed to work that way?

Thanks,
Lucas
