I agree with this.

My point though.......

If the light switch has any outets on it with anything plugged in,
UNPLUG ALL THAT STUFF! and see if the problem goes away.

Big if though. Does not sound like ANY of the receptacles are switched
- only several lighting circuits.

I have several switches here that turn on not just lights but outlets
too.

One is at the front door, it tuns on the outlets for the living room
lights, all floor and table lamps since theres no cieling fixture, the
living room switch is ganged, with a lamp outside the front door and a
switch for a driveway flood light.

OP may have ganged switches like that, they are pretty common so
something plugged into a outlet thats switch controlled could have a
short. In my case a living room light.......

incidently this has occured here
