<pre>sorry, I'm a bit confused. If I read this right, you want the button area to be
like in <span class=""><a href="attachment.cgi?id=128675" name="attach_128675" title="Custom button areas for comfortably using a off-center clickpad">attachment 128675</a> <a href="attachment.cgi?id=128675&action=edit" title="Custom button areas for comfortably using a off-center clickpad">[details]</a></span>, i.e. the height reduced with the ability to
left-click below the actual buttons?
which brings up one question: do you have the touchpad enabled or disabled?
reason is that the buttons change size when disabled.
fwiw, I have a T440 here which has the same touchpad hardware but is (almost)
centered on the laptop, so at least testing is easy. What I found is that
putting a finger down in the button area, then moving into the bottom area and
clicking does not trigger a left click, the click only works on an immediate
press, not when there's movement. If you are on the edge of that boundary (and
you may be because of the touchpad's location) you'd be triggering that,
forcing you to press the button differently.
I wonder if fixing that would be sufficient? I'd be quite similar to what
you're doing here anyway</pre>
