Thank you for filing, @ElFreshPrince. I'm a little busy for the next couple of weeks, but I will look into it when I get some time.

@ElFreshPrince Quick question, what web browser did you use to open Google Docs? Was it Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or some other?

There have been prior reports of formatting issues (pagination, reversed background colors etc.) that are currently in the bugs queue afaik.

My closest solve with google docs has been to:

1. Save Google doc as an .md format file (opened link in Chromium)
2. Open the .md file in QPrompt

What Happens If Trump Actually Pulls the US Out of NATO_ (1).zip

(Operation performed on 1.2 EA6, .deb install amd64)

Requires some light editing post-import (particularly lists and bullets-need way to place cursor before the first character to manually indent other than backspace then retype, also underscores) however best option I have found - other than reformatting from plain text (the fail-safe approach if other methods not satisfactory).

I consider lines that fail to wrap more urgent to fix than the other items in queue, which is why I will try to look into this before our next release, but what's most likely to happen is v2.0 will come out first and then I'll make a attempts to tackle all bugs related to formatting at once. Most of them are related and will have fixes within the same blocks of code, so it makes sense to tackle them at once.

2.0 is already 5 months overdue and counting, so... I have to draw the line somewhere.

At least there are somewhat workarounds.
