Timeout occurence inside a retry step wont cancel the latter

having a code such as:

node('master') {
  timeout (10) {
    retry(2) {
      try {
        sh "while true; do; sleep 2; done"
      } catch (e) {
        echo "wont ever run as theres no exception coming out from the timeout"
      }
    }
  }
}

leds to the first retry to end due a (supposedly) internal exception being thrown but go on with the second one.

Shouldnt timeouts forbid retrying? Besides, timeouts won't throw an exception as the last echo won't ever happen
