Bug 439562

SUMMARY
When having a fullscreen window, it can be interesting to have a dock/panel in autohide coming above the window when the cursor is on the edge to look for various things (new messages, time, etc.). This behaviour is possible in many case by checking "Can be above fullscreen window". When Latte is set in "Autohide" or "Dodge Active", this works well: the dock/panel is not visible over a fullscreen window, but appears when the pointer is moved to the relevant edge of the screen.

However, when using "Dodge Maximized", this doesn't work as expected, since a fullscreen window is not, strictly speaking, a maximised window, unless the window was maximised before being set in a fullscreen mode. As a result, in "Dodge Maximized", we have only access to two behaviours (if the original window isn't maximised):
1. if "Can be above fullscreen window" is unchecked, the dock/panel is NEVER shown and cannot be triggered with the pointer on the edge (since it is technically not in hide mode),
2. if "Can be above fullscreen window" is checked, the dock/panel is ALWAYS shown, thus visible above the fullscreen window (potentially in the way of a video).

ANALYSIS
This behaviour makes perfect sense if you consider that a fullscreen window isn't a maximised window. However, for all intent and purpose, I would say that in the eye of the user, a fullscreen window is "maximised". In my humble opinion, most users would expect "Dodge Maximized" and "Can be above fullscreen window" to behave like "Autohide" and "Dodge Active" for fullscreen windows, whether the original window was maximised or not.

POSSIBLE FIX
Since, to the best of my knowledge, only "Dodge Maximized" make use of whether a window is maximised or not, making Latte-Dock treat "Fullscreen" windows as "Maximized" (i.e. both at the same time) would fix this issue without impacting the other modes.
