    Is there any way to disable this "fix"?

    I can see how some might consider this a bug, but I don't. If a GameObject is disabled, that is a very different action then it exiting a collider. It's been this way for years and I have one game that relies heavily on this behavior. This seems like a massive breaking change.

    For example, my game relies on doing certain actions if, for example, an enemy ship leaves the playing field and thereby hits a border and fires OnTriggerExit2D. This Exit logic previously only ran if the ship actually hit the collider, now it's running for every single object that enters the play area - weather it actually leaves the border or is simply disabled.
