Description
I've created a spatialite database with three spatialite tables (pt, ln, ply) and started an editing session on one of the tlus_* tables.
From the attribute table, I can add a field, but the delete field button at the top of the attribute table window is greyed out.
As a result, fields cannot be dropped from the spatialite table.
I've attached a spatialite table for reference.
This is experienced on Windows (OSGeo4W, qgis-rel-dev), MacOSX (KyngChaos), Linux (arch linux, git release branch).

This is a (extremely frustrating and prohibitive) limitation in the sqlite data format which is used by spatialite:

Aw, what a sad story.
It'd be nice to see a portable db format that allows field deletion but also has spatial functions! I guess right now I can't expect the best of both worlds..

I think this is solved with a bit of a hack in Spatialite netive GUI. Maybe we could get inspiration from it.
