Why is Google Doc formatting now showing correctly in the Speedgrader?

Students uploaded research papers from Google Drive to a Canvas assignment.  When previewing in the Speedgrader, some formatting is not showing up correctly.  For example, the first paragraph is beginning at the bottom of the title page instead of on the second page (for most students) and hanging indents in the works cited aren't showing as indented.  Is this a common problem with viewing Google Docs in the Speedgrader? 

 

When I check the revision history of the Google Doc and compare it to the upload time, the inconsistency is there.  It's not that the doc was changed or corrected after the assignment submission.  Any suggestions?
