I am using LibreOffice Writer, supplied with my Mint Linux installation. The Time (Fixed) field never displays any time. Is it failing to fetch the time or am I doing something wrong?

The Writer 5 user manual gives (p387) some handy shortcuts for fields, including Ctrl+F9 to toggle the time etc on and off. If the Ctrl+F9 shortcut does not work with Mint click on View>Field Names to toggle the view.
