Not consistent referential metadata "i" display
According to documentation, ''if referential metadata pertains to all observations in the row, the ‘(i)’ is shown in the corresponding cell of the extra (information) column.''
In my example I have some metadata attached to a group of dimensions and I am expecting to see it as (i) in a separate column.
When I have wider selection of data displayed in the table, I can see "i" next to the row for employment (EMP), Employees (SAL), Self employed (SELF), which is fine: https://de-demo-oecd.siscc.org/vis?lc=en&df[ds]=OECD-staging&df[id]=DSD_QNA%40DF_QNA&df[ag]=OECD.SDD.NAD&df[vs]=1.0&av=true&pd=2019-Q3%2C2022-Q2&dq=Q.FRA............&ly[rw]=MEASURE%2CCOUNTERPART_AREA%2CUNIT_MEASURE%2CTRANSFORMATION%2CPRICE_BASE&ly[cl]=TIME_PERIOD&ly[rs]=ACTIVITY%2CTABLE_IDENTIFIER&vw=tb
But when I limit my selection and for example choose "Table identifier = T0110" from the filters, then in the next view "i" is displayed not in a column, but next to each cell (incorrect).
Also, when layout is changed, the same rules should be applied and one "i" would be displayed if it applies to the whole column.
Example files
- structures: OECD.SDD.NAD-DSD_QNA_DF_QNA-1.0-all.xml
- data: OECD.SDD.NAD-DSD_QNA_DF_QNA-1.0-data.csv
- metadata: OECD.SDD.NAD-DSD_QNA_DF_QNA-1.0-metadata.csv
The issue was reproducible in qa:reset.
Additional documentation tasks

The documentation for the (i) positions could also be extended and clarified according to the wording in the documentation for (*) footnote attributes (https://sis-cc.gitlab.io/dotstatsuite-documentation/using-de/viewing-data/preview-table/footnotes/#case-3-the-attribute-value-is-the-same-for-one-dimension-in-the-rows-of-the-table):
Case 3: the attribute value is the same for one dimension in the rows of the table
When:cases 1 to 2 do not apply, AND
more than one target dimension is displayed in the row axis, and all remaining dimensions (if any) are either on the row section axis or have only one value (and thus are in the table sub-title),
Then the * icon is dislayed in row header cells behind the dimension value(s) (thus, cells in row without an attribute value do not show the * icon).

There is something strange in the https://sis-cc.gitlab.io/dotstatsuite-documentation/using-de/viewing-data/preview-table/footnotes/ documentation. There is only case 3 for rows, but case 4a and case 4b for columns. I would not think that we manage rows and columns differently... This should checked and clarified too with an updated documentation.
