o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Writer | View | Display.
o Tick "Graphics and objects".

As you say, this problem affects only the display in the editing 
screen, not the result, whether printed or exported as PDF, or indeed 
Page Preview. It is sometimes useful to suppress the display of 
images, as re-rendering them as the display changes can slow down the 
operation of the program, for example in scrolling.

I trust this helps.
