why only the first packet retransmission

I did an experiment about retransmission. I am confused that why from 15:23:17 to 15:23:35 only seq 120091 retransmits. In my opinion,seq number from 120627 to 130275 should retransmit too,because their RTOs are time out. But they didn't retransmited until seq 120091 retransmission finished. Does anyone know why? ---------------------------------------------------'DATA-------------------------------

That's how it is defined in the first RFC detailing the TCP protocol (RFC 793):

   RETRANSMISSION TIMEOUT

    For any state if the retransmission timeout expires on a segment in
    the retransmission queue, send the segment at the front of the
    retransmission queue again, reinitialize the retransmission timer,
    and return.
