--- Comment #1 from ady <adylo811...@gmail.com> ---
OTOH, the behavior allows to overwrite prior values with newer values without
"deleting" prior values when a new value does not exist – a differential
replacement. So, there are cases for which the current behavior is useful.

One possible alternative workaround to the case described in comment 0 would be
to have some other character instead of "empty" fields/cells. For instance:

* with a space character:
Legend;1;2;3
b;b-1;b-2;b-3
empty; ; ; 
d;d-1;d-2;d-3
e;e-1;e-2;e-3

* with an underscore character:
Legend;1;2;3
b;b-1;b-2;b-3
empty;_;_;_
d;d-1;d-2;d-3
e;e-1;e-2;e-3

which allows to replace the prior values, and then you could perform a
(Find&)Replace action on the selected special character.

IMO, I would not change the current behavior.
