I see the same as Jürgen. I checked 2.4.0, 2.4.1, 2.4.2, and 2.4.x, they
all look the same as far as I can tell. It is strange that we see
something different since the import is C++ code (i.e., does not rely on
an external converter that might differ between platforms) so we should
figure out this puzzle.

@Shuvomoy do you have preview enabled? Does only the first line show up
in the PDF output if you view it?

Also, if you put the LaTeX in a .tex file and do File > Import > LaTeX
(plain), what result do you get?

As Jürgen mentioned, which LyX 2.4 version do you have? Can you also
paste Help > About information?
