[EDIT] For anyone reading this and wanting a independent way to generate electrum address from seed and passphrase, this tool https://github.com/FarCanary/ElectrumSeedTester which can be found in the thread noted above is fabulous.
That one's quite good, only a few necessary changes from iancoleman's BIP39 tool. (commits: github.com/FarCanary/ElectrumSeedTester/commits/master)

I wouldn't use it outside of testing purposes though.
And the author somehow decided not to include Electrum seed generation which is different from BIP39, so he purposely disabled the "Generate" button.
That reduces the functionality of the tool for testing.

For some reason, Electrum no longer allows me to take a screenshot of its interface within the wallet; it would show the result of increasing the gap_limit for change addresses.
I'm on version 4.6.0
You can disable that security feature in: "Tools->Preferences->Misc->Prevent Screenshots"
