nlbegin does not work fine when specify weight method

E.g. Import Gaussian.dat under Samples\Curve Fitting\, run script,

nlbegin iy:=(1,2) func:=gauss weight:=3; //3 for method "Arbitrary Dataset (=1/ci^2)" nlfit;
nlend 1 1;
==>?--> It works, but in builds previous IR96Sr0_82, it reports error message "Variable value is not in predefined list, VarName = weight, VarValue = 3".
2. Run with "weight:=6", which for method "Variance ~ a*y^b".

For operations that Output is a sheet, Recalculation will wipe out all the operations and create new

E.g. Append multiple sheets into one sheet and plot data from it. If modify data in source sheet and recalculate, plot will be gone.

This is because before Origin 2019b, recalculation recreated the output sheet. 


The issue exists in tools that are used to join data in different sheets, e.g. wjoinbycol and wjoinbylabel.

Note: these two tools can be accessed from script window only.

Pulling recursive cell formula over many rows will make Origin crash

In previous version, when pulling a cell formula over many rows (for example 1,000), Origin will crash.
