Using Ctrl to select bones in weight paint mode with Xray on is broken with left click select #77052

New Issue

System Information
Operating system: Gentoo Linux
Graphics card: AMD 5700xt

Blender Version
Broken: 2.90 master, 2020-05-25

Short description of error
When using X-ray in weight paint mode, you can no longer select bones with left click select (the right click select keymap works)
weightpaint.mp4
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
test_gradation_T01_01.blend

Open the attached file.
Go to the "viewport shading" drop down menu and activate X-ray with something less than 100%
Try to select any bones with ctrl + left mouse
Notice that you can't select any bones with X-ray on.

I noticed that this is caused by a "Select" key binding in weight paint mode. This binding only exists in the left click select key map.
If I remove this binding, I can select in xray mode again. This doesn't seem to remove any functionality, so I am a bit confused why this binding exists here at all.

@ideasman42 is this something we might want to fix before we release 2.83?

Description
I have a similar issue as the one outlined above, only the selection doesn't work regardless of whether X-ray mode is enabled or not. The "Select" keymap is also not present in the 3D View -> Weight Paint section, but it is present 3D View (Global) which I assume is supposed to be there; removing the keymap doesn't fix the issue in my case. Switching to Right Click Select does fix it so the bug is very similar. Using the Info tab with debug mode enabled shows that the command doesn't even get called when trying to select a bone, but it does fire when the cursor isn't on top of a bone.
