FYI, on Fedora Linux using Libre Office 7.5.9.2 there is a "Restart in Safe Mode" function on the "help" pop down menu. About halfway down the menu. If you clicked this is may have a "leave safe mode" or equivalent in the same place because I don't have the "Start in Test Mode" function on this menu.
Hope that may be of some asistance.
