You don't have to enter the amount you want to receive.
This is an additional feature.
Did you only rely on this to check wether you received your amount?
Did you check the total balance and tansaction history? Is it completely 'ignoring' your transaction?
Try the following:
Open electrum, goto the console ('View' -> 'Show console') and type in:
ismine("YOUR_ADDRESS_HERE")
This should return true if the address was generated within your wallet.
I don't see anything in the History tab and the Receive tab has the status as pending for those requested funds.
I don't see any drop down to access the "console" - there are only 3 tabs, History, Send and Receive. in the Right lower corner there are four icons. Network (I'm connected to three nodes.) Seed (where I can enter my password to review my seed info) Preferences (I don't understand most of this) and Password (where I can change my password.)
