Jont Allen, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x250 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.17). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have reported the details of this problem at
  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/272142

  As summarized on that question:

  X250 analysis:
   I used the command on the X250
    evtest /dev/input/event15 | grep EV_KEY

   I can see the bug, as follows:

  I click on button 1 (left) over and over. When I push the button down,
  I see it register as 1,
  and when I let go of the key, it registers as a 0.

  The bug is that every now and then (once every 20 clicks), when I let go
  of the left mouse button (BIN_LEFT), it does not return to state 0 (it stays in state 1).

  This is highly random, but cant be triggered more often, by dragging a
  window, which I do with BIN_LEFT.

  I am using a brand new X250, purchased in late July 2015. The system was returned 3 times to IBM repair as I assumed
  this was a hardware error. Now with the above, it seems clear that this is a software issue.
