Description:
from https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/commit.html:

Beginning a transaction causes any pending transaction to be committed

If Beginning a transaction causes any pending transaction to be committed then all transactions are effectively serialized. Do you mean to say Beginning a transaction causes any pending transaction to be committed within the same session (connection)?

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-transactional-statements.html states:

> MySQL supports local transactions (within a given client session) through
> statements such as SET autocommit, START TRANSACTION, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK.

So this is not a bug.

Thanks for using MySQL.
