Texts are rendered even when they or parents have alpha 0

[pecoram]

Where text elements are rendered even when their parent container has an alpha value of 0. This slow down the main stage rendering.

Expected Behavior:
When the parent container's alpha value is set to 0, all of its child elements, including text, should not be rendered.

Actual Behavior:
Despite setting the alpha value of the parent container to 0, text elements within it are still rendered.

Do you have an example:

For me alpha 0 on a parent is hiding the text as well. LMK how to reproduce - Make sure you're updated to latest renderer + solid release

Take a look to the console -> pageDrawTime

the text triggers a pageDraw even if alpha is 0. This does't happen if you replace the text with a View image

Ah ok - so the text isn't visible then? But it's still taking render cycles?

I've tested the SDF renderer and this isn't happening - I think only the canvas renderer has this issue

[pecoram]

I confirm, only canvas renderer has this issue

Should no longer be happening with 2.9.0 - lets check again
