It looks like you have some gadgets enabled that change the page title area, can you try turning them off to see if they're related to the problem somehow?

I have disabled all gadgets and beta features (except "Visual Editing" and "New wikitext mode"), still the same result.
I've also tried it with Safari (see screenshot).

Oh, I tried it now and I get the issue as well! Apparently it only happens when you open the new wikitext editor directly, but not when you switch from visual mode, which I must have done the last time and not paid attention to it.

I think this is caused by a mistake in T310839. When making the page title not be greyed out on Vector 2022, I missed a spot in the new wikitext editor code, and I removed some styles that made greyed-out headings selectable that seemed to no longer be needed (but still were due to the other mistake).
