ThomasV said that you run this in the electrum console:
wallet.accounts[0].create_new_address(0)
Then you restart the client and the new address will be displayed on the receive tab. The label next to the new address will be red though which is not something to worry about.
I guess you could run the above command in a loop, if you know python loops, to generate lots of new addresses.
Topic: Gap limit setting missing in 1.9? - page 2. (Read 3813 times)
I describe a way to do it in this post. I haven't tried it with the official precompiled windows builds, though. But I guess it should work.
Edit: sorry can't seem to paste the link from my phone. Just check out my windows build thread for the post. Hope this helps

Never take away an option from a program that people were using! Developer needs to address this ASAP, and tell us how to set gap limit where we need or restore the option in 1.9.4 interface please.

- Gap limit option has been removed, right?
it has been hidden. it was unnecessarily complicated for normal users, and it is not a good method for merchants.hidden to well for me to find apparently.

Yeah they removed it. Electrum's philosophy seems to be to keep things minimal. I suppose we should respect that. The alternative is Armory and I hear that can be a huge memory hog not to mention the blockchain!
Unless I am just not seeing it, the gap limit option seems to not be there anymore in electrum 1.9 on windows.
Due to some silly that I'd rather not get into I need to restore a wallet with a gap limit of around 25.
I managed to work around by loading the wallet in 1.8.1, setting the gap limit and then loading it in 1.9 just fine.
