Can confirm that this bug still exists on Lenovo L430/L530 with Ubuntu
14.10

As there still seems to be no solution, I present you one:
The attachment is a dkms tar.gz with a backported elantech driver from the 
current 3.18 kernel (that has the the fix for the issue included).

I call it "backported" as it was _slightly_ changed. 
__set_bit(INPUT_PROP_POINTING_STICK, tp_dev->propbit);  had to be commented out 
in elantech.c as kernel 3.16 doesn't support the INPUT_PROP_POINTING_STICK bit.

Apart from elantech.c and elantech.h everything else was coppied from
the latest 3.16 ubuntu kernel sources.

TL;DR:
Download the attachement.
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo dkms ldtarball psmouse-elantech-3-18.tar.gz 
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-3-18
sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

** Attachment added: "elantech.c and elantech.h backported from the current 
3.18 kernel"
