What is the problem with this component?
Any one can provide me some assistance on this matter?

It says it right there. There are a lot of logged crash reports blamed on that exact component.

Obviously, it's doing way more than you think, if it's responsible for so many crashes.

You might try MiniLyrics.     The nice thing is they have a BIG online database of synchronized (and some unsynchronized) lyrics.   I haven't used it with Fooobar2000 but it's supposed to support Foobar (and most other players).

I never have had any problems with this plugin (Lyrics Show Panel 3), but I don't use features like "auto-save lyrics", etc.  How do you have yours set up in its Preferences?  And what version of Foobar are you using?  Other plugins in use?

Post a screenshot of your preference settings from Foobar's File/Preferences/Tools/Lyrics Show 3 panel for the "Lyric Searching" tab;  also, in the "Lyric Saving" tab try un-checking "Enable automatic save" if activated.  You will probably be better off moving this discussion to the plugin's own thread, which is here: https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,90338.0.html .

Part of the issue may lie in that you have "Prefer synched" selected, yet none of the sources in your search list are synched lyrics databases (the unselected ones on the right side are).  Anyway, before going any further, we need to know if you WANT synched lyrics or not.  If you do, move all the sources on the right into your search order list.  If you don't store lyrics in separate files, get rid of the "Local file search" option (move to the right) and I would also move Associations search to the bottom of the select list.  Put Tag search on top so if the files already have embedded lyrics those are shown first.

If you want unsynched lyrics, change the selection type to "Prefer (or Only) non-synched", and keep all the "timestamped" sources on the right side of the panel.  Also start with disabling "Automatic Save" in the "Lyric Saving" tab if you're having crashing problems.  My list looks like as below (a couple of the sources are from third parties).
