Can you post the link to the transaction?

From what you are saying it seems like there is a 'problem' with the wallet and not the transaction itself. You mention that the receiving address you used does not appear in the wallet. If that is the case then you have the wrong wallet open or you perhaps used the wrong address or an address from another wallet.

Is there perhaps another wallet file on your pc? If so open it and see if the funds did not perhaps go to that wallet. Check is the receiving address is in that wallet.

Only other thing I can think of to do is to delete the wallet file (ONLY IF YOU HAVE THE BACKUP SEED) and to restore it again to see if that perhaps work.

Not sure whether Tails might have something to do with it, have not worked with it before.
