In older LO versions, there was no "skip empty cells" option in the import text
dialogue. That was the expected result at that time, because that was the way
it worked back then.
For similar reasons, the STR in comment 8 do not include shortcuts or
descriptions of dialogues, but rather a hint of steps that are relatively easy
to follow in whichever version of LO – there are differences in shortcuts, UI
and available options, depending on LO version.

Right.
The tool tip on the "skip empty cells" option says:
"If enabled, blank cells in source will not override the target."
(For this bug report, I would add an emphasis on the "source" term, and the
fact that the source in this case is not really "cells" until the Text Import
dialogue treats it in such way.)
So, with LO 7.6, the result of the STR from comment 8 should be:
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
whereas with the "skip empty cells" option set ON, the result should be:
Legend;1;2;3
b;b-1;b-2;b-3
empty;b-1;b-2;b-3
d;d-1;d-2;d-3
e;e-1;e-2;e-3
Either way, the reported bug is indeed present, and now we are clear about the
_current_ (as of LO 7.6) expected results.
I am still not sure whether this is an "implementation error" or a
"regression".
