Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the value did not show if the first part of the merged area was hidden.
• Fixed an issue where after selecting the top-left element, resizing the row range was not possible.
• Fixed an issue where column headers were cut off after hiding and revealing the columns with the HiddenColumns plugin.
• Fixed an issue where a redundant row was added during copy/paste operations in some cases.
• Fixed an issue where too many values were pasted after a column was hidden.
• Fixed a bug where an attempt to move collapsed parent rows, with the NestedRows plugin enabled, resulted in an error.
• Fixed an issue where, after column or row alteration, Handsontable threw an error if ColumnSummary was enabled without defined row ranges.
• Fixed an issue where using updateSettings was breaking column sorting in specific cases.
• Fixed an issue where, if fixedColumnsLeft was defined, rows had their left borders missing after disabling the row headers using updateSettings.
• Fixed an issue where the Handsontable instance could fall into an infinite loop during vertical scrolling. It only happened when the scrollable element was the window object.
• Fixed an issue with moving rows to the last row of the table when the NestedRows plugin was enabled. Repaired some other minor moving-related bugs as well.
• Fixed an issue with adding an unnecessary extra empty line in cells on Safari.
