NPE crash in BaseTextAndGraphicsManager.java line 206

[spstreckfus]

Bug Summary

We're seeing the following crash affecting a few hundred users in Crashlytics, but have been unable to reproduce it as of yet. Seems to be a new issue after upgrading to SDL 5.6.0. The crash is coming from line 206 in BaseTextAndGraphicsManager.java where transactionQueue.add(updateOperation, false); is called. Somehow the value of transactionQueue is null when this line is reached.

Reproduction Steps

No reproduction steps yet. This crash came from Crashlytics logs and was observed after we updated to SDL 5.6.0.
