We noticed this happens when your local node connection isn't active at the moment the new account is being created, and the screen stalls on the "Generating account" step. If one tries to close this window and open again, it would still present this same state, stuck.
How to deterministically reproduce
Enable the following menu option:
Develop > Sync mode > No sync
File > New account, fill the two passwords and hit Create
Observe the stuck "Generating account" screen
Reopen the new account window
Expected behavior
Account creation should work even in "No sync" mode.
A way to detect that the screen is stalled, with a timeout for this operation.
When reopened, the window state should reset, giving room for a second try.
