Some line break symbols are ignored in Properties dialog. As in field UNSYNCEDLYRICS in this file, for example - https://www.dropbox.com/s/4xcacs3zt3587kj/01.%20Shrouds%20of%20Celeste--.flac?dl=1

But 3rd party component foo_uie_lyrics3 does display line breaks correctly in UI element. Also text is displayed correctly with line breaks if copied and pasted into Notepad++.
fb2k 1.6.11, Windows 7. UNSYNCEDLYRICS is added to multiline fields in fb2k's settings.

Different linebreak conventions across operating systems: https://www.editpadpro.com/tricklinebreak.html
A good text editor can handle all. In Notepad++ you can convert between them with Edit -> EOL Conversion.

But yeah, a smarter "Clean up" function is on my wishlist. Not only fix leading/trailing spaces, but ...

So it seems that text in tag was originally created on Mac OS or Unix OS. It also can be fixed directly in fb2k using "Format from other fields" $replace(%unsyncedlyrics%,$char(10),$char(13)$char(10))

But, according to Wikipedia, Unicode standard defines that LF ($char(10)) should be recognized as line terminator, just like CR+LF ($char(13)$char(10)) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline#Unicode
