[GH #4670] Can't use fixedColumnsLeft with mergeCells

I’ve got a table set up with fixedColumnsLeft, fixedRowsTop and mergeCells defined. There are 2 fixed rows at the top, and the first cell is merged with the one before.

If I disable fixedColumnsLeft this renders correctly but if enabled, the merged cell disappears and the layout appears broken, as shown in this jsfiddle.

Is there any way to get this to work? I need to use both fixedRowsTop and fixedColumnsLeft and will also need to merge some more columns horizontally.

Hi @sunny

Yes, we are aware of this drawback.

As Aleksandra advised in the issue - https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/4670 - If you add rowHeaders it works as expected.
So this workaround should also help you, - http://jsfiddle.net/70s3f6cw/1/ - right?
