Dont think this is a bug, transparent has its own min/max.

from path_state_next:

/* ray through transparent keeps same flags from previous ray and is
 * not counted as a regular bounce, transparent has separate max */

UI is a bit misleading, I agree, Min settings are now tucked away under Advanced (see rBc9238e638fd5), Transparent Max is just grouped with Diffuse / Glossy etc. since rB85ce4d957cee.

@Brecht Van Lommel (brecht): shouldnt this be a bit separate like it was before?

Good suggestion, I've tweaked the UI now.

@Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) yeah, we are already found, that is a feature (useful ofc), but it is not reflected in UI and tooltips.
