Describe issue

I made a very minimal workflow that has 2 jobs that start in parallel and one job that is dependent on the faster job. I expect

hello_world_job and another_job to start
another_job to complete
depends_on_another_job to start
depends_on_another_job to complete
hello_world_job to complete

What actually happens is

hello_world_job and another_job starts
another_job completes
hello_world_job completes
depends_on_another_job starts
depends_on_another_job completes

I pushed it up to a private Github Repository and the actions tab works as expected.

Workflow content

name: Hello World Workflow

on: [push]

jobs:
    hello_world_job:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:
            - name: Sleep 10 && Print Message
              run: sleep 10 && echo "This message takes a while"

    another_job:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:
            - name: Print Another Message
              run: echo "This is another job running in parallel!"
    
    depends_on_another_job:
        needs: [another_job]
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:
            - name: Print Message
              run: echo "This job depends on another_job"

Relevant log output

| This is another job running in parallel!
[Hello World Workflow/another_job    ]   ✅  Success - Main Print Another Message
...
| This message takes a while
[Hello World Workflow/hello_world_job]   ✅  Success - Main Sleep 10 && Print Message
...
| This job depends on another_job
[Hello World Workflow/depends_on_another_job]   ✅  Success - Main Print Message

Additional information

I understand if I was doing something real maybe the actual work is happening in parallel in the correct order and maybe we are just having a difficult time displaying it.

Forgive me I am very new to using act if this is a limitation of the framework that we already knew about. I didn't find any other issues regarding this.

I am almost sure this is exactly what you mean when you say:
concurrency is ignored
In the docs. I will close this issue based on this and I will be on the look out. If you ever want help getting around this limitation let me know.
