#### Fixed
- Fixed an issue where the Nested Rows plugin was disabled after calling updateSettings with an empty data array. [#10556](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/10556)
- Fixed `setSourceDataAtCell()` updating parent rows instead of nested child rows when `nestedRows` is enabled. [#10657](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/10657)

- Fixed selected fixed-column header alignment with data cells for fixedColumnsStart [#12202](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/12202)

- Fixed autocomplete editor with strict mode and allowInvalid discarding typed value on click-away instead of saving it. [#12285](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/12285)

- Fixed multiselect overflow indicator not responding to chip padding token changes [#12316](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/pull/12316)
- Fixed the `headerRowBackgroundColor` theme token having no visual effect on row headers. The `rowHeaderOddBackgroundColor` and `rowHeaderEvenBackgroundColor` tokens now derive from `headerRowBackgroundColor` by default, so customizing it properly cascades to all row headers. [#12322](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/12322)
- Fixed an exception when showing the loading indicator from the `afterChange` hook during editor close. [#12348](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/12348)

- Fixed setDataAtRowProp interrupting edits in progress [#4305](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/4305)
- React: Fixed the React wrapper skipping settings updates when `dataSchema` or `columns` contains non-plain objects such as `Date`, `Set`, or `Map`. [#12207](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/pull/12207)
- Fixed the loading overlay resetting the grid scroll position to the top when no cell was selected before showing the overlay. [#12514](https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/12514)
