Confirming that this problem still exists. 

Let me offer a new reproducible example of this problem in v4.1.10. When you
drag select only the cells which are currently visible (when some rows are
hidden), choosing ⌘-C (Mac) copies ALL cells from the sheet to the clipboard,
not only those that are visible.

Either the app needs to select only those cells which are visible or add a
separate button (like in Excel) to allow for selection of only those
rows/columns which are currently visible as Miguel suggested in 2005. It's more
intuitive to 'ignore' any cells which are hidden and select only visible cells,
but a separate button like what is used in Excel would suffice.

It's frustrating to select only the rows which are showing only to find that
pasting the coped data has selected ALL rows from the sheet, not only those
which are visible.
