PrimeNG calendar form component Error: Failed to execute 'getComputedStyle' on 'Window': parameter 1 is not of type 'Element'

Question

When using PrimeNG's Calendar form component, I get the following error as soon as I click on the calendar form:

The error is not coming from any of my files, and I have been googling and googling and haven't been able to figure out what's happening. It says that "parameter 1 is not of type 'element'", but I am not trying to pass anything into anything else. The error occurs on any interaction with the calendar form. Basically, it renders it to the screen, and displays today's date in the form, when I click on it the whole calendar expands like this:

But for every interaction, another instance of the same error appears in the console. I am new to Angular so I'm feeling a little frustrated with this one!

Thanks so much in advance!!!

calendar.component.ts:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-calendar',
  templateUrl: './calendar.component.html',

})
export class CalendarComponent implements OnInit {  

  fromDate: Date = new Date;
  toDate: Date = new Date;

  ngOnInit(): void {}

}

calendar.component.html:

<label for="fromDate">Choose start date: </label>
<p-calendar [(ngModel)]="fromDate" dateFormat="dd/mm/yy"></p-calendar>
<label for="toDate"> Choose end date: </label>
<p-calendar [(ngModel)]="toDate" dateFormat="dd/mm/yy"></p-calendar>
