I use LyX 2.3.1 on Windows 10, 64 bit.
It seems like LyX sometimes has problems handling SVG files,
specifically lines with arrow heads.
Here is one example; the original file in Inkscape:
In Inkscape, this looks fine. However, when I import this svg file into
a LyX float figure, this is what it looks like:
Observe that some of the arrowheads seems to have a “broken neck”...
If I generate a pdf from Inkscape and import the drawing as a pdf into
LyX, then there is no problems. But then the preview in LyX looks pixelated.
Q: where is the problem? Is it Inkscape that uses corrupted svg files,
or is it LyX that doesn’t properly handle arrow heads?

It's always good if you can provide the file to test.
By default LyX uses rsvg-convert and not Inkscape for the conversion.
And there might be a bug in rsvg-convert. You can see how the file looks
in a browser which normally use their own svg interpreter.
You can try to use Inkscape instead and see whether that fixes the
problem, for example, by renaming the rsvg-convert.exe (usually in
C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX 2.3\bin if you have installed LyX for all
users) and then running Reconfigure in the Tools menu in LyX.
