It appears there's a projection flip that is applied in some situations,
like the preview pane in studio mode, and the shader math fails when
it's active causing the output color to be zero. This fixes the math for
GLSL (with a tiny redundancy penalty to HLSL), and cleans up some
unnecessary code along the way.
Use abs() to avoid zero area in case the OpenGL projection flip is
active. Also simplify the math, and remove the unnecessary sampler
state.
