HI

I have three lights in the scene when unchecking cast shadows on one or two of the lights it seems to mess up the matt on the shadow catcher materials.

I second this - I can't turn off shadow for any light without it messing up my shadow catcher

This might illustrate it a bit better

Hi,
this is a know limitation of the shadow catcher option, for this reason, better to use Render Layer technique, instead.
Please, have a look at the documentation about this argument:
