GUI shouldn't be temporarily changing mapsets. The way to do it is to use gs.create_environment and pass that environment to db.connect.

Yes you are right, thanks for your explanation.

#3086 solve issue #3078.

I think this could still be useful if the mapset is created manually without initialization. The only thing I would perhaps modify is relying on vectname to include mapset, using find_file may be a good idea.

Ok, I'm reopening this PR and have incorporated your suggestion.
