It introduces a screen problem: The progress bars have no "right end"; they extend forever. The attachment shows the right end of my windows -- no matter how far I stretch it, that's what I see. Machine is a PowerBook G4 with 10.4.11.

this was already with all other builds, it happens for no reason at all. (try restarting Transmission, or clicking at the filters)
I've been using Transmission for a long time and this is the first time I've seen this problem. I have clicked all the filters and restarted, and the bars are still extended.

It could be that there is new a bug in this update, but I think this is the same old bug and it just appeared for the first time at your transmission. Most of the time this bug will gone after a couple of days/weeks (however I don't know why)
Since my post until now I've restarted the Mac or logged out an in of the user ID, or relaunched Transmission maybe more than a dozen times. It's been okay maybe once or twice, and extended for the rest.
That bug is one reason why support for tiger has been dropped for the newer branches. there are a few other bugs like that you can't click on the pause and the let me see in finder button right next to the torrent. Sometimes it happens once or twice and sometimes it happens nearly all the time. The makers have no clue how to fix it, since it is only on tiger and it happens random. I use 1.54 too and I have had all those problems too... Sometimes it would only be gone when the new version was out, sometimes it took a month, most times it was gone after a restart.
So you can only hope it will be gone soon
I'm running Tiger on the Macbook this update(v1.54) caused the issue with slow download speeds which from reading the forums I realised was from a "port is closed" issue folk were having. I stepped back down to v1.53 and the speeds went back to normal (fast) problem disappeared. However I have always had with previous builds the "port is closed" red dot but the download speed wasn't affected its only on upgrading to v1.54 I had the annoying 25kb speed and 1 torrent at a time milarky. The forever extension of the progress bar I've had for every build since I started to use Transmission.
I just had a somewhat strange video occurrence -- where the Inspector window became a little larger than usual. It was almost as if it was in a different resolution - the window was larger and the detail became blurred (letters, lines, edges of the window, icons, everything). Oddly, the window became wider, but I think it was the same height as the original.
When it happened, I was in the "Options" tab and was about to change the upload rate for that torrent. I could not click in the drop-down menu as pictured (larger than normal), but I was able to eventually find where it really was by clicking around in the area where it would normally be. Upon activating the "Limit" drop-down menu, I was able to type in a limit, which was then displayed in the somewhat distorted picture.
I tried to change the size of the window using the lower right corner, but there was no response. (I probably would have had to click+drag where the corner would have been if the window was normal sized, but I didn't try doing that.)
I then switched to the "Peers" tab, using the < command+left arrow key > combination. The Peers window appeared normal at first, then after some time - less than a minute, I think - changed to a distorted appearance like the "Options" window had been.
I then remembered that I had used the < command+F3 > combination to move all my open windows off-screen - and had moved them back by pressing the F3 key twice after I had finished what I was doing. I tried doing that again, and the Inspector window became the normal size and "resolution".
I'll restart my iMac soon as a precaution, although everything seems OK now.
Just thought I'd report the incident so that others might try doing that if they have graphics problems.
