My apologies I missed that, lol. Have you tried:
- Changing the theme to radiance then back to ambiance under Settings >
Appearance or
- Use gnome-tweak-tool to change the Icon Theme to something else and
then back to Ubuntu-mono-dark or
- Removed the icon from the launcher, launch the program, and then lock
it to the launcher again or
- Reinstall the applications and perhaps the humanity icon pack with
sudo apt-get install <package> --reinstall

You can also try see if the Desktop Entry has a proper Icon value set
under /usr/share/applications/ (ls libre*).

I hope that helps a bit :)
