Package nicematrix - "TeX capacity exceeded" error

Question

I am trying to reproduce the example from Section 16.3 of the nicematrix manual:

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{nicematrix}

\begin{document}
\NiceMatrixOptions{nullify-dots,code-for-first-col = \color{blue},code-for-first-col=\color{blue}}
$\begin{pNiceMatrix}[first-row,first-col]
&   & \Ldots[line-style={solid,<->},shorten=0pt]^{n \text{ columns}} \\
& 1 & 1 & 1 & \Ldots & 1 \\
& 1 & 1 & 1 &  & 1 \\
\Vdots[line-style={solid,<->}]_{n \text{ rows}} & 1 & 1 & 1 &  & 1 \\
& 1 & 1 & 1 &  & 1 \\& 1 & 1 & 1 & \Ldots & 1
\end{pNiceMatrix}$
\end{document}

However, I keep getting the "TeX capacity exceeded" error.

I boiled it down to the following MWE.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{nicematrix}

\begin{document}
    $\begin{pNiceMatrix}[first-row,first-col]
    &   & \Ldots & \\
    & 1 & 1 & 1 & \Ldots & 1 \\
    & 1 & 1 & 1 &  & 1 \\
    \Vdots & 1 & 1 & 1 &  & 1 \\
    & 1 & 1 & 1 &  & 1 \\
    & 1 & 1 & 1 & \Ldots & 1
    \end{pNiceMatrix}$
\end{document}

It still produces the same error.

P.S. I am compiling via TeXstudio on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS.

The solution to that problem is to update the package nicematrix.
