What version of GnuCash on what OS?  The selection of column headers works
fine in V3.4 on Linux MInt/Ubuntu 18.04 and I have used it in V3.1-3.3 as
well.

Are you seeing multiple columns in the Import preview window or only one? If
it is only one try setting some of the other separators (space tab etc) to
see what effect that has. Make sure multisplit (multiple lines per
transaction ) or fixed width are not selected unless you are really sure you
should be using them.  Also don't use the GnuCash Export Format Settings
unless the data has been exported previously from GnuCash using that format.
Even in these cases I can still select the headers though)

The only way I can disrupt it is to disable the separator used in the file,
but even then the header for the single input column can be selected.

Have you tried opening the CSV file in Excel or LibreOffice Calc? This may
help diagnose problems.
