  Description:

  The Lenovo new TrackPad since 2014 starting to unify buttons into
  ClickPad, but in most case for now, upper middle scroll(selection) and
  upper left click, in generally it is not effecting normal use, however
  it is a trouble for user who use Trackpoint(Pointing Stick), which
  makes it useless since there is no wait to scroll with TrackPoint.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open any webpage
  2. Trying to scroll page with TrackPoint

  1. Open any textfile with any editors
  2.  Trying to select and copy some text while using TrackPoint

  Actual result:

  Users need to move their hands off the keyboard and use the bottom of
  touchpad to perform actions all over again.

  Expected results:

  5 buttons on new TrackPad should works as expected.
