Textbox does not show input

[edgargarcia1949]

About a year ago, I wrote a calendar program in Python using Pygame which shows a calendar for any month desired including holidays and special days for an attractive printout to hang on the refrigerator for my wife. It uses 2 pygame-widget buttons and 2 pygame-widget text boxes. Because Windows 10 is no longer supported and my hardware is not suitable for Windows 11, I decided to switch to Linux Mint and later to Manjaro which is also a Linux based distro.
In both new operating systems, I tried to run my Python calendar program and had the exact same problem. The text boxes accept input and do what I want them to do but the cursor and text entered do not appear.
This morning I found my year-old program and found the old pygame-widgets folder and copied it to my Python library and replaced the new pygame-widgets folder with the old one.
Problem was solved.
Apparently a change was made to the textbox.py file which has caused this problem.
I tried looking at the new textbox.py file and comparing it to the old one but these files are very big and are definitely different.
Please be aware of this problem.
I found a solution and am happy with the result.
Thank you.

I found a pygame_widgets folder on a Calendar project from a year ago and replaced the new one with the old one and it worked. I also downloaded a pygame_widgets module from the Arch Users Repository and it also seemed to work properly. It appears that the latest version does not work properly. I enter data and my program acts on that data correctly but the cursor and entered text do not appear. I am not Python savvy enough to figure out what is wrong.

Last evening I ran nuitka to make my calendar app a stand alone app. Before doing so, in my virtual environment I installed pygame and pygame_widgets. My finished program once again had text boxes with no visible cursor or entered text. I replaced the pygame_widgets folder with an older version and fixed the problem after running nuitka again. Please be aware that anyone who tries to use the textbox feature will have this problem.
