No it isn't. This is the weird annoying problem that seems to be limited
to some Samsung devices and is related to the grid layout with the dive
number on the same line as the date, right? We still have no idea what
causes this. Not doing it causes clipping issues on some other devices.

So no simple fix that I'm aware of.

"must" is a strong word. I'd go with "should". Yes, I agree in principle,
but this isn't something I'd hold the open beta for.

Yes please. On both questions.
