In the end I solved the problem using the sledgehammer approach, i.e. by completely removing LO (version 4.2.4 from the Linux Mint repository) from my laptop and then installing 4.2.5.2 from the LO website. Given nobody else seemed to have encountered the same problem, I assumed that I had done something stupid and hence brought out the sledgehammer.
