field description showed in the wrong icon (on mouse over event) on Looker Studio Table

[Maci]

When the "Show field description" feature is enabled, a small icon (a circle with an exclamation point inside) appears next to the field name in the header, which should display the field description (Field descriptions are sourced from the Description column in the data source).
If the "Comparison data range" feature is not activated, everything works fine.
However, when this feature is activated, the field description does not appear on the icon of the corresponding field but instead on the icon of the delta (Δ) field related to the previous field.

Is anyone else experiencing the same error?
Does anyone know how to fix the issue?

Thanks in advance

This looks more like an 'i' for information than an exclamation mark, I think?

[Maci]

Thank you, you're right, it's an 'i' not a '!'.

It's so small ...

Unfortunately the tool tip is showed on the wrong field 

[GavinW]

If you move from left to right across the table, are the tool tip values correct? If not, does it show the wrong value in the same place all the time?

[Maci]

No, they are not correct; it seems that the circle with the "i" also appears in the fields with the delta value so the last fields on the right do not have the circle. It's easier to look at the figure than to explain it in words.

I wonder if this issue is browser-specific? Do you see the same problem in another browser?

The best thing to do here is probably to file a bug with the Looker Studio team.

[Maci]

I don't think so, the same thing happens with both Google Chrome and Firefox (both updated to the latest version).

I will prepare an "example report" to share with the Looker Studio team.

Thanks.

[Maci]

I shared an example report with the Looker Studio team, I hope they can help me.
Do you need the report link as well?

Thank

[GavinW]

I think they can reach out to you if they need that link as well.

Just adding here - I'm experiencing the same issue with a Looker Studio Dashboard. It seems that the "i" field description icons move when I scroll in a table and that results in the "i" icons appearing next to incorrect field headers (or some field headers no longer having an "i" field description icon).

Interestingly, I've noticed the issue only persists when accessing the dashboard through the URL included in the iFrame code provided by Looker Studio ("Embed report" button) and does not persist in the regular "Get report link" URL.

This seems to still be an issue/bug as of this date. I can provide some URLs to public dashboards if it helps the dev team out at all.

I have the exact same issue, seems like it is still not fixed @GavinW 
When you activate 'Show field descriptions' under headertext for a table it generates the little information symbols for each column, but if you also use comparison columns it bugs out and adds the information symbol which is supposed to be for the next column to the delta column instead.

To make my example clearer, if you have three columns A (Description A), B (Description B) and C (Description C) with their descriptions and show the field descriptions normally it would show your headers as A (i) with description A | B (i) with description B | C (i) with description C.

But when you add a comparison field to column A your header is shown as
A (i) with description A | Δ (i) with description B | B (i) with description C | C

So the final column(s) get no (i) and all the columns after the delta show the wrong description.
It seems like the code that places the (i) symbols just looks a column number 1,2,3 based on  the order of the statistics/dimensions in your table setup but it forgets to take comparison columns that are added later into account.

Can we please get a fix for this? There is nothing we can do in the UI since the only options are enable or disable the field descriptions.
