TypeMock prevents initialization of static data of non-mocked classes

Hi all,

There is a class (StaticStuff) that I am not mocking. However, TypeMock prevents .NET from initializing the class's static data (SomethingStatic) when it appears in another class that I am mocking (ClassToMock).

There are other discussions on the matter:

• https://www.typemock.com/answers/10626/static-members-of-type-used-in-faked-class-not-initialized
• https://www.typemock.com/answers/10054/static-class-and-members-are-being-mocked-as-null-or-empty
• https://www.typemock.com/answers/10127/static-constructors-are-mocked

I am on version 8.6.0.

I am familiar with the workaround of referencing SomethingStatic before mocking ClassToMock. I am, instead, inquiring into a fix of the root cause.

Thank you!
