New abilities auto-added to action bar, cannot disable

Seems that one of the 3.x patches a "feature" was added where when you learn a new ability, it gets automatically added to the next open space on the action bar.
In short, this is flippin annoying and I'd rather have it back the "old" way where you drag what you want from your spellbook on your own. For the life of me I cannot see an option to disable this new "feature", does anyone here know?

Someone else made a thread about this a week or two ago, and for the life of me I cannot imagine what makes people find this so annoying. Afaik it's only "enabled" until level 10 or so, and all it does is save you 3 seconds from opening your skillbook. What's preventing you from simply dragging it from the place on the bar it's automatically put to where you want it?

All I asked was a simple question, "how do I do X?". Really wasn't looking for a lot of preaching and "well, why don't you like X?" junk.
The person that answered most directly and received my gratitude. That is all.
And now that I just dinged 10 a few moments ago, all is well. G'day. :)

Yea I agree, Its hella annoying. I generally get the spell from my book and onto my bar where I want it before I realize its already on my bar.

I think it's nice. I also like the auto quest accept.

First of all it only goes to about lvl 10. Second you can just drag the spell off and thats the end of it...I fail to see why that is such an annoyance. I believe it was implemented so people new to the game are less likely to overlook new spells.
Its annoying for those of us that already have 4 80s and don't need that kind of hand-holding when we start a new alt.
Also, I have my action bars locked by default, helps with frantic button-pushing during raids, so its not as easy as dragging it off the bar again.
If you're raiding with 4 80s you should know how to push shift and click a button at the same time.

Ok, I'm really new to WoW and I do need some help similar to this issue. I can move the spells back to my bag or whatever I got them from, but at some point I put the Hearthstone on this action bar and now I keep pressing it at bad moments of game play and screw myself up. I try to select the Hearthstone and place it back in a bag or whatever, but I am unable to select it without casting the spell. I just want it off the action bar. Anyone have a helpful suggestion?

To remove something from the action bar, Shift+Click it to pick it up (the action bar slot should become empty and the icon will follow your mouse) and then rightclick to 'drop' it. It can still be found in your spellbook/inventory, of course.
