Faked function of mocked contract not working when called by other function

Describe the bug
Faked function of mocked contract not working when called by other function

Reproduction steps

Let suppose we have a contract C, which has two functions, F1 and F2, where F1 returns the value of the passed parameter, and F2 calls to F1 and returns the corresponding result:

contract C{
  function F1(uint 256 x) public pure returns (uint256 r){
    r = x;
  }
  function F2(uint 256 x) public pure returns (uint256 r){
    r = F1(x);
  }
}

Then we create a mocked instance cM of contract C, and we set F1 to return always 0:

const C = await smock.mock('C');
const cM= await C.deploy();
cM.F1.returns(0)

Then if we call function F2 with any x value, it should return 0:

assert(await cm.F2(10)).eq(0)

But the test above fails and it is returned 10 instead of 0.

Note that the following works as expected:

assert(await cm.F1(10)).eq(0)

Expected behavior
In the explained scenario above: the call to the function F2 with any value as a parameter, should return 0.

I am facing the same issue, can we expect a fix? This has been open for a long time now.

This is the primary reason I'd use mocks, really important feature.
