I think the date has to be wrapped because the leftmost part of the screen is reserved for notification icons, and therefore the whole width can't be used, and all dates won't fit on a single line. (If the icons were moved down to make room for the date, that would also require modification to the Events screen to keep the icons in place.)

What could be done is that the date would be wrapped only at certain points, like between weekday and date or between date and year (or whatever is reasonable in each local date format), to avoid dividing for example between "2014" and "r." (original poster's case) or "11" and "kesäkuuta" (screencap below from my mixed English-Finnish date).

(The proper dividing points in this example would be "Wednesday / 11 kesäkuuta / 2014".)

You could just edit it yourself. The lockscreen UI is defined in /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/qml/Lockscreen.qml

Enable Developer mode in terminal: "devel-su" "nano /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/qml/Lockscreen.qml" (you might need to install nano) scroll down to where it says

Label {
   id: dateLabel
   anchors { ...}
   width: parent.width - (Screen.width / 5 * 2)

change the line:

width: parent.width - (Screen.width / 5 * 2)

to width: parent.width /* - (Screen.width / 5 * 2) */ so the date can use the whole width of the screen.

you'll need to reboot for it to update.

you could also fiddle with the date format to have it like 11.6.2014 if you like, but im not going to go into that deep here.
