I have tried with an unlocked wallet as well

The wallet can't generate receiving addresses before an HD (Hierarchical Deterministic) account has been created.
The most simple way to create one is to run the dialog at File -> HD Wallet and use it to first generate and then import a recovery phrase (mnemonic).

The crash was a bug and is now fixed in the latest code, thanks for the report.

Thanks. Part of the problem is I could get the steps right to create the HD wallet. I figure it out though, for anyone else getting tripped up steps are as loosely as follows:

1. Unlock the wallet with your encryption password
2. File -> HD Wallet --> First, create tab, and generate a new recovery phrase and save a copy somewhere
3. Import tab, paste recovery phrase, click import
