They work for me. Perhaps they don't work the way you expect.

If you want to turn off change bars, so that they're no longer
applied when you make a change, you use "Esc o b" and turn
the function off in the dialog that opens. Turn them on again
in the same way.

If you already have a change bar applied, and you want to
delete it, then you can use Ctrl+Shift+H. The problem is that
the shortcut toggles the change bars, and change bars is a
character property. The easiest way to do it is:

1. Select a range of characters bigger than where the
change actually occurs. If possible, it's often easiest
to select the entire paragraph.
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+H *twice*. The first time, change
bars are applied to all characters. The second time, the
change bars are removed.

Or, use the Find function to search for change bars,
and then press Ctrl+Shift+H *once*. Since the search
selects the exact characters where change bars are
applied, you only need one press to remove them.
