Jmx file that illustrates the issue

Hello, I have an possible bug with the Result Status Action Handler in JMeter 5.4.1.

Test Case
- My Thread Group's 'Action to be taken after a Sampler error' is 'Start Next Thread Group'.  My loop count is 2.
- I have three HTTP Samplers each going to google.com, google.com/xyz (which is expected to fail with 404), and google.com//services respectively.
- I have a 'Result Status Action Handler' set to Continue that is at the same level as the HTTP Samplers (ie at the root of the Thread Group).

Expected result:
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails but continues
- Sampler for google.com/services should pass
- Loop 1 ends
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails but continues
- Sampler for google.com/services should pass
- Loop 2 ends
- Test stops

Actual Result:
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails
- Loop 1 ends without executing google.com/services
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails
- Loop 2 ends without executing google.com/services
- Test stops

I think the problem may only be with the 'Continue' option in 'Result Status Action Handler' since every other option seems to stand up under test.

For example, if I have the same test case but set 'Result Status Action Handler' set to 'Stop Test' the test acts as expected.
- Sampler for google.com should pass
- Sampler for google.com/xyz fails and the test stops
- Loop 2 is not executed

I've attached the jmx file which illustrates the problem.

Thanks,
Mark
