File > New Wallet, selecting either Create New or Restore from Backup (using privkey or seed) is generating a .tmp file that is an empty, unusable, watch-only wallet and then silently crashing Electrum.
Electrum 2.1 cannot be used to recover from seed or private key, or create a new HD wallet.
Having the .tmp wallet open and issuing the importprivkey('5....') command silently fails. Having a functional wallet open and issuing the same command prompts for password, so you can import a private key into an old wallet.
