Not 100% sure, but it seems like the latest update removed or made invisible the openoffice macros:

I suspect as a result of LibreOffice update?

Maybe caused by the libreoffice update by the Zorin package manager... (???)

That looks like something to do with virtual ports/vnc?

Nothing to do with LibreOffice.

You mean software updater? If LibreOffice issues an update then it will come through and as I pointed out earlier, other users of LibreOffice have lost macros after an update - I don't know if there is a way to back up macros but you might want to consider using TimeShift which is a GNU/Linux equivalent of Winblows System Restore. ;)

I guess the macros is just invisible, not lost. The different version of the libreoffice may handle it differently.

I've never used macros so can't comment. I got an aversion to Macros when using Microsoft Office as they became targets for viruses. Perhaps that is why at work they are disabled by sysadmin.

The macros are needed, even risks with viruses.
That should not be disabled just because virus-scanner can not operate well.
