System Information
W7 Pro SP1
W10 Enterprise

Blender Version
Broken: (2.78.5 248bba81e7)
Broken: (2.79 5e9132b)

Short description of error
I exported fully functional key configuration so i can use them at work (it was working). When import it, blender starts to behave strangely. (see steps). I tried it also at home on W7 SP1 and it is doing the same so it is not OS related.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Export key config to external file
Import key config
In 3d view open ADD menu with shift+A release A and keep holding SHIFT. Blender creates new external 3D window. maya.py

Uploaded my key config.

Your exported keymap has weird entries like those:

kmi = km.keymap_items.new('screen.area_split', 'NONE', 'ANY')
kmi = km.keymap_items.new('screen.area_join', 'NONE', 'ANY')
kmi = km.keymap_items.new('screen.area_dupli', 'NONE', 'ANY', shift=True)
kmi = km.keymap_items.new('screen.area_swap', 'NONE', 'ANY', ctrl=True)
kmi = km.keymap_items.new('screen.region_scale', 'NONE', 'ANY')
kmi = km.keymap_items.new('screen.screen_full_area', 'NONE', 'ANY')
kmi_props_setattr(kmi.properties, 'use_hide_panels', True)

For some reasons, this is triggered with your custom config, while it's not with default one (where those also exist, they are defined in Blender C code itself for default keymap).

@ideasman42 will need your lights here, what in hell are those weird keymaps? And how are they supposed to work?

I know that export is weird. Thats why i reported is as a bug. My question is why ? Mentioned key config worked without a problem until i exported it.
Just tried new 2.79 rc2 7b397cd and it works. RC2 has this problem solved.

Sorry to say that, i was wrong. It is not solved in RC2. I did not use export function.
Did some more testing and i think it is Export related bug. If i just copy my functioning custom config from blender//scripts/presets/keyconfig somewhere else and than import, it just works fine.
But
When i use export function on the same file and import it than it makes that mess.
Here is the same file in two versions as i mentioned. One exported and one copied.

exported.py

copied.py

I can't reproduce this on current Blender (2.82 alpha @ 5dc1183580).

@PaloPiktor can you write down steps that allow us to reproduce the issue with a recent Blender build (https://builder.blender.org) with the factory default settings?

Will close this for now. @PaloPiktor, if you are still able to reproduce the issue in the latest build, you can reopen this report. Make sure to provide the additional information @dr.sybren asked for in the task description. Thanks.
