[Bug] Panel/Dock edge settings ignored when a window is maximized #519

Issue/Description:
Certain COSMIC Settings related to the panel/dock layout are ignored when a window is maximized. Settings like the ``Gap between the panel/dock and screen edges& the option toExtend the panel/dock to the screen edges`, stop being respected as soon as a window enters the maximized state.

Version:

cosmic-settings:
  Installed: 0.1.0~1765565060~24.04~cc462eb

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Configure a visible gap between the panel/dock and the screen edges
  • Disable the “extend panel/dock to screen edges” option
  • Open any application window
  • Maximize the window

Expected Behavior:
The panel/dock should continue to respect the configured gap and edge-extension settings even when a window is maximized.

Other Notes:
This might be the intended behavior to make these settings apply only when windows are tiled or floating un-maximized. However, not all users want this. Some users prefer the panel/dock to remain non-extended when a window is maximized, or to keep a visible gap between the window and the panel/dock when the screen-edge gap setting is enabled.

I currently use tiling most of the time specifically to preserve this UI behavior.
