Description: I just did an abstraction to crop buffers with the help of [waveform~]. But if [waveform~] is hidden, i.e. in a patcher or abstraction with its window closed, the buffer is cropped but empty until the object is made visible again.

Expected behavior: [waveform~]'s crop message should work even if the object is not visible.

Steps to reproduce: See the patch. Note that if the [p cropBuffer~] window is opened, then the example will work. I even had some crashes sometimes when opning the [p cropBuffer~] patcher, but they are not reproductible (the crash happened in the waveform redraw routine)
