Confirmed.
Axolotl is really make a fun of spinning around, its like dog barking around guardians
This is my favorite glitch, even better than hyperspeed boats. I hope they make a special NBT tag for hyperspeed spinning axolotls on leads.

I’m surprised this hasn’t been fixed yet, but either way I just randomly started thinking about this issue. Could it have something to do with pathfinding towards water? Maybe the code that makes it look for and move to water and the code for being on a lead are interfering with each other somehow? Something like, it’s trying to check for water but can’t because it’s tied up and so it just bugs out and spins. I have no idea if that’d be it, but I can’t think of a reason that leads would be different for these guys unless some other aspect unique to them is messing with it.
edit: seems this may still apply when in water, so maybe not.

I can't believe this bug tagged as "Works As Intended"...
No offense, but I cannot believe that this “works as intended”. It doesn’t exactly ruin gameplay, but I still think it’s annoying if you want to take some axolotls with you to an ocean monument or whatever. This isn’t a problem on Bedrock either. I could be entirely wrong and not remember, but hasn’t this had an assignee for a while now? It wouldn’t have taken this long to switch to “works as intended” if that truly was the case, right? Was this bug just so hard to fix that it became a good old “it’s not a bug, it’s a feature” deals? Again, no offense, but this doesn’t seem right to me.
Bedrock doesn’t have this issue. How is this WAI? It’s an annoying bug.
This bug reopened!
Seems it will be fix in the future version.
Cannot reproduce in 1.19.4.
I am also unable to reproduce this in 1.20.5 (
)
The issue can still be reproduced in water, as per the comment from @unknown below
I was able to reproduce the issue in 1.20.5, but the axolotl must be in water. They seem fine on land.
Can confirm in 1.21.4.
Can confirm.
