1. Load any shapefile with say 1 polygon
2. Right-click - save as Spatialite, check Add to canvas
3. After it is done (note possible bug Export to Spatialite is really slow, compared to commandline ogr2ogr #16707 btw), open table, start editing, try adding field (double). Note that both additional fields are present and editable, while they should not be, as SQLite with QGIS Spatialite driver doesn't support that.

This is because in this case layer loaded via OGR data provider, not native SpatiaLite. If you open this layer using SpatiaLite provider, you can not set field width and precision.
