off.
This isn't a UI issue. Last fall EQ2 introduced ranged autoattack and ranged weapons for spellcasters, and when they did they added a mechanic where casting a spell triggers ranged autoattack if you've got a ranged weapon equipped (similar to how using a melee CA triggers melee autoattack if you've got a melee weapon equipped). The solution to this is to not have a spell ranged-attack item in your ranged slot (bows and ordinary throwing weapons seem to work fine).

General consensus is there's a lot of bugs in the spell ranged autoattack toggle code, the devs seem to have had tunnel-vision and looked only at the "ranged weapon, no melee" case and assumed that any caster who wanted to melee would not have a ranged spell weapon in their ranged slot at all.
