Editing lyrics

No problem, just do it.

Mp3tag does not store a tag-field with no content, therefore the tag-field's edit dialog ... "doesn't keep the "OK" button able".
Simply delete the tag-field in the dialog "Extended Tags..." [Alt-T] by pressing the [Del] key resp. by clicking the "Red Cross" button.

There is no customization available for a new window just for unsynced lyrics only.
But you can add a multi-line edit field into the Tag-Panel window in the "Mp3tag Options/Tag-Panel" dialog to display the text from the tag-field UNSYNCEDLYRICS in the Tag-Panel window.
The Tag-Panel window can be placed anywhere on the screen/s where you want it.

You can use the action "Format value" resp. the converter "Tag - Tag" to create a new tag-field with a name of your wish.
So you can copy or move data from one tag-field to another tag-field.
