Bug: Field Descriptions

Hi Looker support,

If you add field descriptions to a table (using Style → Header Table → Show Field Descriptions) on a table that also uses comparison fields (that auto generate columns with a Δ) the little (i) symbols are shown on the wrong columns.

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

This bug has been in place for months now and has been flagged before
(e.g. in this https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Looker-Studio/field-description-showed-in-the-wrong-icon-on-mouse-over-event/m-p/864299#M6768 thread)

Can you please look into this?

I am available for more information, screenshots, or whatever else is needed.

Kind regards.
