Regardless of the answer, by looking at this: electrum/issues/5082 (the corruption bug) and the replies, there's a chance that it could be the case.
@nc50lcCase of corruption bug? I consider it too. Is either that or the wrong derivation path, anything else is out questions.
If it's really what happened and you've sent the bitcoins to the corrupted wallet file, then the partial solution to this is to restore that wallet file using a file recovery software.
And that would be a problem depending on where you've installed Tails and if it's been active since the incident.

Unfortunately, I won't be able of doing it! Tails was on an USB stick & that stick was gone since mid-end Oct. 2019. Besides that I deleted the wallet files (prior of starting topic in Spt. 2019) as it was advised in guide lines on Tails website.
But the real problem is if that recovered wallet can spend from that address, because based from the "issue", the corruption will produce different addresses that aren't covered by your master public key.
Means that your seed can't derive the right private key(s) to spend from them.

That might be exactly what it is.
-Now, restoring from files is out of question.
- Can I achieve it trying different derivation paths? - restoring the right private key
One scenario that the corruption bug might happen is when you created the wallet while the "default_wallet" is still active.
Newbies usually create a wallet during Electrum's first "Install Wizard" which is actually wallet creation window, prior to creating his official wallet.
Would you clerify it? I don't think is somehow related with my problem but I would like to understand it still.Newbies usually create a wallet during Electrum's first "Install Wizard" which is actually wallet creation window, prior to creating his official wallet.
Since the issue's going nowhere from all the "no", recovering every deleted/overwritten Electrum wallet files from Tails' persistent folder it's worth the try.
As mentioned above......... No
