The following HTML does not work in IE6 for me:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html><body>This text is visible.<textarea>This too.</textarea>
This is not visible.
<select><option value="a">A</option><option value="b">B</option></select>
Neither is this.
<textarea>Nor this.</textarea>
Nor this.
</body></html>

Is this a known bug on IE6? Could it have something to do with Windows 7? Or could it be my installation of Internet Explorer Collection 1.6.0.6 that is flawed?
Edit: here's a screen:
