Slow LyX File - DVI-to-PDF Converter - Clip to Coordinates

I am experiencing a slowdown on a LyX document. I am suspecting that 
this is related to the "Clip to Coordinates" in the Graphics option, 
which calls the DVI-to-PDF Converter (in Windows) at the backstage 
constantly.

When "Clip to Coordinates" option of any figure is selected, LyX 
constantly executing DVI-to-PDF Converter using command-line window even 
if you are not working on that specific figure (ie writing regular text 
at somewhere else), and even if that specific figure is not on the screen.

Furthermore, I realized that even if I uncheck the "Clip to Coordinates" 
option and click the "Apply" and "Close", the LaTeX code preview at the 
includegraphics command still shows the viewport option, but without the 
",clip". So, normally, it should completely remove the viewport option 
and get the values from the file, am I right? Since the viewport options 
stays, LyX is calling the DVI-to-PDF converter, which again causes 
slowdown. Unchecking the option and then pressing the "Get from file" 
solves the problem tough. This is very un-intuitional. I feel like 
something fishy is going on here.

I have attached a MWE. My OS is Windows 10, MikTeX is the latest version 
and LyX is 2.3.6.1. Could somebody check this with other OS or other 
versions. Any feedback would be appreciated.
