UIInputText() not working

[BrettskiPy]

Bug Report

The UIInputText() is not visible even after it is created.

Expected behavior:

Entry box appears upon using the arcade.gui.UIInputText()

Steps to reproduce/example code:

Observe simplified code attached. entry_box_not_working.txt

The issue is caused by the underlying pyglet lib: https://github.com/pyglet/pyglet/issues/529

Please try this workaround:

entry_area = arcade.gui.UIInputText(text=" ")
entry_area.text = ""

This should do the trick.

PS. I also recommend to add some border to make the input field more visible (even in the example code):

self.manager.add(
            arcade.gui.UIAnchorWidget(
                anchor_x="center_x",
                anchor_y="center_y",
                child=self.v_box).with_border()
        )

Awesome, thanks for the information. I’ll try this out soon.

There are still things we need to do here, so re-opening

Should be solved now. 2.0.6 will have more fixes as well
