Do you mean left click selecting? Since that's the default now.

Did it work in earlier versions, is this something that broke recently for you?

Hi Brecht, seems present in last night's OSX build, 27th. I say RCS because I still use RCS!
Have reverted back to build from 25th and all is well. I also couldn't use 26th build because of keymaps not responding - couldn't press X to delete!
So, in summary OSX builds 25th - All seems well, 26th - can't X delete, 27th - can't RCS, assuming that you have RCS set up.... have just gone back to 27th build to triple check - no response in 3D Viewport to either mouse button. Also I can't find in Preferences where the option is to change mouse selection, but I'm always RCS!
Cheers
Wayne

Can you verify with factory settings just to be sure it's not affected by any preferences?

@mano-wii, possibly related to your recent changes.

Willing to Factory Reset to test, but apologies, can you suggest a way to FR on OSX without too much poking around?

If you do File > Load Factory Settings in Blender, it will reset all Blender preferences. As long as you don't save preferences the old ones will be preserved when you next start Blender again.

Thank you, just running out - will try in about half an hour! ;]

Ok, can confirm that all is well once Factory Settings are loaded. Have deduced that it's something to do with Keymaps. Have been fine with my personal Keymap for years now, but this last update has somehow conflicted with it so that selecting doesn't work in the viewport... One thing I noticed a while ago, and still occurring now is that my keymap does not display the 'Preferences' section at the top, so there is no way to choose L or R select in this section while an older keymap is loaded. Could this be anything to do with it? Second question.. will I have to rebuild my keymap from scratch? :D

@slowboy Unfortunately, because the Python Api has changed in 2.8, it may break old keymaps.

It's unfortunate, but I am not sure there's a way around that.

The left vs right preference is only for the default keymap, as it modifies the keymap itself.

Probably the breakage is caused by 40f8ddf829. The keymap can then be fixed by replacing all instances of VIEW3D_OT_select_or_deselect_all with VIEW3D_OT_select.
