As a workaround of sorts, from 1.72 if yaw and roll are both assigned to ,/., yaw controls will be disabled.
Now, if someone would just submit a version of the BBC keyconfig with yaw assigned to something sensible… (I don’t use the config, so I don’t know what would be sensible.)

'[' and ']' are a good choice, being a handed pair, next to eachother, not previously assigned and not a million miles from ',' and '.'
I definitely read before of someone who had the same experience when loading the bbc controls into a 'new' 1.71 download.

The problem with [ and ] is that not all keyboard layouts have them. Also, the Mac implementation binds to character values, but the others seem to bind to key positions. This gets sort of messy from a support and documentation perspective.

Left and right arrow keys?

Umm... I'm confused, your saying that on 1.72 roll will not be left and right arrow keys? What is wrong with left and right arrow keys? I know I could just use the same config folder, but still, what is wrong with it?!?!

No, no-one’s saying that. :-)

This post gives the list I use on a mac for bbc-like keys, I also mention a few caveats about other key changes that I made that others may not like in their version.

That's not a misspelling. When
kay_advanced_nav_array was introduced (somewhere around 1.68?) it
was spelled that way. So probably you ported your keyconfig-file from an older version, without changing the spelling?
Because indeed, at some point (since 1.70?) the spelling was changed to
key_advanced_nav_array.
