Floating panel with no maximised window

SUMMARY
The default behavior of floating panel where they maximize and stop floating if there is maximized window should not be applicable for panels which have either "auto hide" or "windows can cover" option checked. Ideally that should apply to panels which are always visible an have reserved space on screen.

But if panel is auto hiding, then they don't have any reserved space on screen and it make no sense to stop these panels floating for maximized windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new panel
2. Check Auto Hide or Windows can Cover option
3. Floating Panel option
4. Open any window (not maximised)
5. You will see good floating panel
6. Maximise the window and take cursor to edge of screen to reveal the panel
7. You will see ugly Maximized panel

OBSERVED RESULT
Floating Panel always stop floating when there is maximized window

EXPECTED RESULT
Floating Panel should only stop floating on maximized window if it is always visible. If it is auto hiding or windows can cover it, then it should not stop floating.
