I have encountered the same/similar problem. As soon as I implement a project in the carousel the link to it gets cut off. When I link an image manually to the project it works. The site I am working on is more or less bare bone at this time and has no plugins installed other then the Lay Theme ones. All latest updates are also installed. I wrote you guys a mail with all the details, topic and logins.
