"Numbering captions by chapter" should be set to "None". When you make this change, the caption numbers may not change immediately. But if you then add an additional picture to the end of the document, all the caption numbers change to what they should: 1 to xx. To test this, I created a text document inserting some pictures and Heading 1 styles between them. This test was done on LO 3.6.5 downloaded from the LO website.
