System Information
Operating system: Win 10 64
Graphics card:

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80, ba6cf3cdb6, blender 2.7, 2019-02-13
(example: 2.79b release)
(example: 2.80, edbf15d3c0, blender2.8, 2018-11-28, as found on the splash screen)
Worked: (optional): not the last 3 daily builds (last time I tried it worked, but was a long time ago, using build 58dc114)

Short description of error
Can't select with left or right mouse, can't pan/scroll/zoom in 3D window. Left/middle/right mouse recognised in keymap if I try to reassign to something. Tried with Marble Mouse and Wacom Bamboo - same issue with both

Lots of errors in console (attached).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup with nothing changed

Could you upload keyconfig.py which causes the error? This isn't part of Blender.

Making my own from 2.79 branch doesn't cause this error.

@ideasman42, I think this error is expected, ACTIONMOUSE no longer exists.

We could automatically version patch preset .py. But importing a 2.7 keymap is really not going to work well at all due to the many changes, and we could just not support it.

I've attached it here. It was sitting in C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\presets\keyconfig. Presumably installed by some 2.79 script/addon.

I've just downloaded the latest build, deleted the AppData profile folder, then the splash screen options help avoid this problem out by encouraging me to save new settings instead of importing from 2.79.KeyConfig.py

It might be worth considering a hint of some sort that makes it clear how to delete your profile. File / Load Factory Settings doesn't delete the profile (perhaps it should), so it isn't obvious that there is also a folder in the AppData that would be worth deleting if the user encounters problems. Maybe a "start with new profile" option would be worth considering in the File menu or the splash screen (the one you get after a profile already exists, not the initial one).

Anyway, thanks a lot for jumping on this so quickly. You guys do an amazing job.

@brecht, yep, we've talked about this before - that loading old keymaps isn't expected to work.

We could detect certain kinds of errors and fall back the the default keymap.

We could even go as far as to check if the keymap defines keyconfig_data before loading it, although this might be limiting for people creating their own keymaps.
