ill-fated short-cut to 'About' menu item:   "u" .   Just amazing.

The program became useless because a shortcut has miraculously been implemented to the key "u".
This results in the "about" dialogue being opened 

>>>WHENEVER<<< 

the program is in focus and the key "u" is hit.

I occurs during all possible occasions when the program is in focus and makes it impossible to compose a message let alone enter recipients whose addresses contain the letter "u".

It does not happen when capitalized.

Please fix it. It is preposterous. uuuuuuuhhhh!

You are the only one who can "fix" it...  :)

Click on Help, place mouse pointer over "About" and hit Del.

Any menu item can be changed this way.  To prevent it, see:
Configuration->Preferences->Other->Miscellaneous
  [X] Enable customizable keyboard shortcuts

Also thanks to everybody else suggesting solutions. I did miss the tiny instructions of how to edit the menus in the "Miscellaneous" subsection.
Ingenous feature.

Sorry for the otherwise dumb question but I really tried to solve it, but got too desperate.
