How many items in your help menu? I guess two. A normal help menu
has more than that, and there's a divider line between the other stuff
and the "about..." item. That divider is what's being deleted. But
since you don't have any other things in there, you need to put the
blank line in there. This is going to look funny on Windows, so a
better solution would be to fill out the Help menu with some more
useful stuff.
