To reproduce, try the Acquisitions statistics report in Google Chrome. When you
click a calendar icon to show the date picker, <select> form fields disappear.
In other browsers the fields reappear after the date picker is closed, but in
Chrome they remain hidden.

The disappearing behavior is designed to get around a display bug in Internet
Explorer 6 in which <select> fields "bleed through" HTML elements which are
displayed on top of them. The JavaScript calendar library we use has a built in
routine to hide any <select> elements which are positioned after the calendar
pop-up. For some reason the JavaScript code fails to redisplay the <select>
fields in Chrome.

The "bleed through" bug has been fixed in IE7+, so I'm inclined to remove the
hiding behavior altogether and let IE6 users live with it (as they do so many
other horrible CSS bugs anyway).
