Title says it all. And its obnoxious when my pet uses gnaw or leap. I did report this as a bug so hopefully it gets fixed.
Has anyone found a workaround in the interim?

Couldn’t you macro the disabling of the pet abilities with the summon?
See Ive tried that, but they keep turning on. Thats why i was asking if anyone found anything else.
I don’t think you can stop them turning on when you rezone but you could macro it to path of ice and cast it when you change zones

Ill try that until Blizz fixes it then, thanks!
I was testing this tonight and think I figured it out. It resets to the default of autocast on when you mount and “catch air” or fly. Turn off your autocasts, open up your spellbook and look at the pet tab. Get on your mount and fly and that tab goes away. When it goes away your autocasts are reset to on.
You can add /petautocastoff gnaw and petautocastoff leap to a commonly used macro as a kind of work around.

Here is a video for the bug. It not only resets due to flying, but also dying (at least in BGs). It probably resets for anything that drops the pet tab on prepatch live. I’ve submitted it on the bug forum, but it would be best if this gets more attention. This is a really annoying bug.

I was having the same issue. It seems to have gone away for me now. I’d pulled the leap and stun of my pet bar and put them on my regular action bar. Couldn’t get the autocast to stay off if I right-clicked them on the action bar or in the spell book. But, I pulled the spells out of the spell book, but them on the pet bar as well and right-clicked them on the pet bar. They’ve stayed off ever since.
I tested it and it seems to consistently fix the problem.
Still happening today, my Undead Unholy DKs pets Gnaw and Leap both auto cast every time I log on, even after turning them off in both the book, the pets action bar, and my own action bars. I also have a Human Unholy DK that doesnt have this issue at all, I have both Gnaw and Leaps auto cast turned off, and it stays off somehow, so it must be a bug somehow, still
I don’t understand, why wouldn’t you want your pet to attack something? Maybe just dismiss it if you don’t want it attacking. Sounds like a you issue.
Dude, they’re talking about the pet special abilities not them attacking. They want them off because in PvE it’s 2 additional interruptions and PVP too, as well as it will trigger a DR stun. You think about anything before you type? Or is that a you problem?
Are you Ok man? The Leap and the Gnaw, both stuns, why would I want them freely auto casted at any time? If the spells are turning on their own anytime I log off and back on on the one character, and not on the other, its a Blizz bug, manually turning them off isnt a problem, I just wanted to see if there is a fix for it, or if its still a bug that it clearly is
The question wasnt why are they off, the question was why is the auto cast turned on for ONE of my DKs and anytime I turn it off, it seems to reset and turn itself back on, but for another of my DKs, I dont have that issue, the auto cast is off, and I can freely use both abilities when I NEED to use them
