Can't click the entry box to write in pygame_gui

Question

I'm trying to use pygame_gui to ask some info to my app users, I'm able to display the entry box, the label and the button correctly but I can't click in the entry box to write and I don't know how to get the inserted input when pressing the "start" button. This is how I've structured mygame: I have a game and a main file that I use to launch the code and then my states. Like this:

game.py

class Game(object):
    def __init__(self, screen, states, start_state):
        self.done = False
        self.screen = screen
        self.clock = pygame.time.Clock()
        self.fps = 60
        self.states = states
        self.state_name = start_state
        self.state = self.states[self.state_name]

    def event_loop(self):
        for event in pygame.event.get():
            self.state.get_event(event)

    def flip_state(self):
        current_state = self.state_name
        next_state = self.state.next_state
        self.state.done = False
        self.state_name = next_state
        persistent = self.state.persist
        self.state = self.states[self.state_name]
        self.state.startup(persistent)

    def update(self, dt):
        if self.state.quit:
            self.done = True
        elif self.state.done:
            self.flip_state()
        self.state.update(dt)

    def draw(self):
        self.state.draw(self.screen)

    def run(self):
        while not self.done:
            dt = self.clock.tick(self.fps)
            self.event_loop()
            self.update(dt)
            self.draw()
            pygame.display.update()

main.py


import pygame
import sys

from data.states.info import Info

from game import Game



pygame.init()
pygame.mouse.set_visible(False)

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((1920, 1080))

states = {
    "INFO": Info(),
}

game = Game(screen, states, "INFO")
game.run()

pygame.quit()
sys.exit()

info.py


import pygame
from .base import BaseState

import pygame_gui

from pygame_gui import UIManager, PackageResource

from pygame_gui.elements import UIWindow
from pygame_gui.elements import UIButton
from pygame_gui.elements import UITextEntryLine
from pygame_gui.elements import UIDropDownMenu
from pygame_gui.elements import UILabel

from pygame_gui.windows import UIMessageWindow


class Info(BaseState):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Info, self).__init__()
        self.ui_manager = UIManager((self.screen_rect.width, self.screen_rect.height))

        pygame.mouse.set_visible(True)
        self.entry = UITextEntryLine(pygame.Rect(50, 100, 200, 50), self.ui_manager)
        self.label = UILabel(
            pygame.Rect(50, 50, 50), "Enter your name:", self.ui_manager
        )
        self.start_button = UIButton(
            pygame.Rect((50, 450), (400, 35)),
            "Start",
            self.ui_manager,
            object_id="#start_button",
        )

    def get_event(self, event):
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            self.quit = True


    def draw(self, surface):
        surface.fill(pygame.Color("black"))
        self.ui_manager.draw_ui(surface)

How can I correctly use pygame_gui with this structure?
