U key open new instant message

Wed Apr 14 01:36:12 EDT 2010

My pidgin recently developed a problem where every time i press the 'U' key,
rather than typing a 'U', a 'New Instant Message: enter name of person you
would like to contact' window pops up. My brother has been experiencing this
as well for a while without being able to find a solution. I'm running Linux
Mint 8 and Pidgin libpurple 2.6.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated
