TextItem.position property does not exist

I'm writing a script to export information about a document, and am encountering a strange error.

The script is inspecting an ArtLayer with a TextItem.

Below is a screenshot of the TextItem properties:

The hyphenation value is missing ("General Photoshop error...").

This item has a height value, but no width value ("General Photoshop error...").

The position property does not exist.

Does anyone know what might be causing these problems?

I can provide additional details if necessary to aid in troubleshooting.

The document is open in Photoshop CC release 20.0.4

Thanks!

Correct answer NeodymiumMan

It appears to be a problem in the debugger.

Stepping through the code and executing commands in the JavaScript Console (I'm using the ExtendScript Toolkit), the TextItem has a position property throughout the process. Some error is preventing the property from being inspected by the Data Browser, but I can work around that.

I can show you the ordinary text in which there are practically no properties, even font. In this font is available.
This is a ordinary text layer in CS6.
