I'm writing my diploma thesis in Lyx and am running across some irritating
formatting issues.
One of the most irritating is that the spacing around headlines is
inconsistent.
An example screenshot:

There you can see that for most headlines (like 3.2.1.2 and 3.2.1.3) the
space /before/ the headline is bigger than the space /after/ the headline.
But for some headlines, like 3.1.2.4 in this case, the space /before/ the
headline is smaller!
The formatting I did on all the paragraphs and headlines is identical!

This is just one example, it happens multiple times within the document.
Does somebody have any advice what I can do about this? (I mostly want it to
be consistent, but would prefer the space before headings to be bigger than
the one after headings.)

All help is dearly appreciated!

Also, if it helps, here's the exportet latex code of the section in the
screenshot:

Yes, that helped.
Looking at the latex code, I see \begin{onehalfspace} and \end {onehalfspace} surrounding your headings. That mess with the spacing.
Removing those gives consistent spacing.

It seems to me that onehalfspace works inconsistently, because you have used it on every heading, but it only changes the spacing for "Fällung von DNA" Removing onehalfspace fixes that, and have no effect on the other headings. Or maybe onehalfspace is not compatible with headings.

I don't know what you have done in LyX to get the onehalfspace stuff,
because I don't have the LyX file. If it is added through tex boxes,
just remove it. If you have a custom character/paragraph style, fix it.
I tried setting the line spacing in document settings, it did not
have such effects on the latex code.

I hope this helps.
