Are you running MySQL8, or MariaDB? If MariaDB, it’s not a bug, it’s an example of why MariaDB is an unsupported database.

Edit: Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound snarky. But it sounded like you were expecting someone to investigate your problem, when you led off by saying you were running a non-supported configuration. 🙂
