I guess that is Debian Bug #761629:

https://bugs.debian.org/761629

This was fixed in spatialite-gui/1.7.1-5:

http://sources.debian.net/src/spatialite-gui/1.7.1-5/debian/changelog/

The spatialite-gui in the UbuntuGIS and OSGeo Live PPAs claims to be a
rebuild of this revision of the debian package, but it is actually just
a rebuild of spatialite-gui/1.7.1-4 which does not contain the bug fix:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/176637510/spatialite-gui_1.7.1-2_1.7.1-5~trusty1.diff.gz

Rebuilding the spatialite-gui/1.7.1-5 from the Debian GIS git repository
for OSGeo Live updating it to version 1.7.1-5~trusty2 should fix the issue.
