Description
When I start electrum in testnet mode, the wallet creation dialogs should show tpub/tprv instead of xpub/xprv.
See screenshot. I started the app with --testnet. Pasting a xpub keeps the "next" button disabled because the code is expecting a tprv/tpub.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Electrum with --testnet and inspect the wallet creation dialogs and their key validation. Done means the dialogs show tpub/tprv in testnet mode and a pasted key of the expected type enables the Next button.
