System Information

Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS / Nvidia 210

Blender Version

Broken: 2.78 7e7a9d1
Worked: 2.77

Short description of error

Mappings to certain keys do not work because the event.type is NONE instead of the expected value.

MINUS and SEMI_COLON, namely.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

testkeypressvalue.blend

In the attached blend is a text file with the contents:

import bpy

class TestKeyPressValue(bpy.types.Operator):

    bl_idname = "system.test_keypress_value"
    bl_label = "Test Keypress Value"

    def modal(self, context, event):
        if event.type in {'LEFTMOUSE','RIGHTMOUSE', 'ESC'}:
            return {'CANCELLED'}
        if event.value == 'PRESS':
            print("type:{event.type} shift:{event.shift}".format(event=event))
        return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}

    def invoke(self, context, event):
        context.window_manager.modal_handler_add(self)
        return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}

def register():
    bpy.utils.register_class(TestKeyPressValue)

def unregister():
    bpy.utils.unregister_class(TestKeyPressValue)

Having blender opened from a terminal or with the console open to see printed output, run the script and then with the mouse in the viewport, execute the operator 'Test Keypress Value' from the spacebar menu.

press and observe what the - and ; do with and without the shift key pressed. I am getting NONE for the type of event instead of MINUS or SEMI_COLON, respectively, whenever shift is pressed.

I haven't had time to test this on all possible key combinations but perhaps there are other affected keys as well.

thanks
