External Exception EEFFACE in Delphi

Question

While debugging my application with Delphi 2009, I sometimes get the following exception occurring:

Recently I've run into this and it's somehow related to the Delphi IDE. The following code ends up in this exception on the ShellExecute line:

url:='https://translate.google.com/#hu/en/%C3%A1';
ShellExecute(0,PChar('open'),PChar(url),nil,nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

But this is not:

url:='https://translate.google.com/#hu/en/%C3%A1';
ShowMessage(url);    
ShellExecute(0,PChar('open'),PChar(url),nil,nil,SW_SHOWNORMAL);

But if I run my app outside of IDE everything is fine without the ShowMessage extra line. I don't know if it helps, but maybe in other cases where debugging is needed maybe this "trick" could help.
