So I managed to solve the issues by doing what I didnt really want to do, a full uninstall through synaptic, getting rid of the .config directory, full purge, autoremove, clean, upgrade, fic-broken etc and reboot a couple of times. Manually went through my ~ and deleted references to libreoffice, reboot and reinstall in the usual (simple) way (sudo apt-get install libreoffice) - boom! All good, both issues resolved. Interestingly sudo apt-get remove libreoffice didn’t actually remove anything and I had to use synaptic, but anyway sorted. Thanks to you all.
