when set disable RowSelectors: 

Hello,

In general there should not be such change in the header, if only the row selectors are enabled.
The expected behavior when row selectors are enabled could be found at our online samples:

Are you by any chance using Multi column headers?

If you continue experiencing difficulties removing it, could you share the markup and CodeBehind code, in order to further look into this?
