I have done - still no joy. Seems pretty conclusive. Even as you suggest, having swapped the cables to the opposite gangs, same problem just with the other light.

I have a similar problem now and I can't work out where the problem lies - I'd be so grateful if someone could help me out. I have a 2 gang switch, which contains the only operating switches for 2 independent lights. The old one is labelled differently to the new one, I think I've got it...
