Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Hi. I had been using Blender 2.93 alpha with configuration for RMB selection as usual, but for about two days when I open the latest Builds it acts as LMB selection (I lost my RMB selection configuration). If I open old build of 2021-02-03, RMB for selection works correctly.

I have done a couple of tests renaming the 2.93 folder in /home/USER/.config/blender. The first time I launch Blender 2.93 with empty configuration, if I configure RMB selection in splash screen then RMB works correctly. In another test with empty configuration again, if I select to copy previous 2.92 configuration (which was configured with RMB to select), then RMB does not work and Blender acts as LMB to select. This problem only in recent Blender 2.93 builds.

@lichtwerk This sounds a bit like the preference issue you've mentioned.

Can confirm I have seen this on first launch of a buildbot build, too.
But I cannot reproduce it since, new builds seem to work correctly now.
(e.g. I just tried again with Feb15 build 7a608f88a7)

@YAFU: do you still have it with todays build?

Hi. I still have the problem. Maybe you manually set RMB selection from Blender Preferences > Keymap? By setting it manually, RMB works correctly again.

But the problem is when using or loading previous configuration. A better way to reproduce the problem: Rename/delete 2.92 and 2.93 configuration folders. Open Blender 2.92 beta and choose "Select With: Right" in splash screen and Save New Setting.
Open Blender 2.93 alpha, in splash screen select "Load 2.92 Settings". RMB for select will not work and it will act as LMB in 2.93.

Did that but I cannot reproduce anymore.
Maybe 7bb5e4a3c1 also did change things?
Maybe we should give it a try again with tomorrows build?

I'm going to give it a try, but I'm not sure if this commit is related to the problem.

The problem does not only occur when you load previous versions settings. Remember that the problem also occurs if you already had 2.93 settings folder working correctly with old 2.93 builds which were working correctly before the problem started to occur only with new 2.93 builds.

I have tried with a completely different Linux installation and the problem is also reproducible (Kubuntu 20.04 and Kubuntu 18.04). Blender 2.93 (c53022768b)

To be clear, apparently the latest Blender 2.93 builds from about a week or two ago are not loading some pre-existing configurations, such as "Select With Mouse Button" or "SpaceBar action" under "Keymap" item. Other configurations are respected, for example "Release Confirms" that I have unchecked, it still remains unchecked with new 2.93 builds.

@lichtwerk , Do you use Linux too?

I exported the settings using different versions of Blender and noticed that the exported file (keys_292.py) does not inform which button is used for selection, so I suspect that this configuration is not exported along with the other keys.

I think exporting the keymap does not cover everything, the remaining bits are in config/userpref.blend, no? (this should be copied over when Load XXX Settings takes place).
(I will need some more digging how this actually works)

But I still have trouble reproducing this.
@YAFU : do you still have the problem with 3.0 as well? Are there any errors when Load XXX Settings takes place that might lead to the fact that only a subset is actually being considered?

@lichtwerk Sorry for the late response.

To test I have renamed 2.93 and 3.0 folders in /home/USER/.config/blender

The problem still exists if I load old 2.92 config from Blender 3.0.
But If I rename my very old 2.92 folder, then I open Blender 2.92 and I choose RMB for Select and Save Settings (new 2.92 config folder is generated). Then the problem is not reproducible loading 2.92 config from Blender 2.93 or Blender 3.0, it works well now.

So, the problem currently only happens with my very old 2.92 config. Since no other user has reported to have a similar problem, it is fine for me if this report is archived or closed.
