Maximize properly a window when smart gaps is enabled

[lbssousa]

(1) Issue/Bug Description:

When smart gaps option is enabled in pop-shell settings and a single window is opened in a given desktop, it's resized to fill the available space without gaps, but it`s not trully maximized.

Is it possible to make pop-shell maximize properly a window when smart gaps option is enabled?

(2) Steps to reproduce (if you know):

1. Enable smart gaps in pop-shell settings
2. Open a new window in an empty virtual desktop

Current behaviour (it resizes the window to fill the available space, but it`s not trully maximized):

(3) Expected behavior:

It should maximize properly a window, instead of just resize it:

Same issue (Wayland). It's annoying because it's easy to accidentally grab the window edge when you're trying to grab a scrollbar, and you end up resizing the window instead of scrolling down a page.

It's a feature that isn't actively tested or used. If someone would be willing to help out with maintaining that feature, that'd be appreciated.

Is it possible to just maximize the window when it's the only one open in the workspace rather than doing what is being currently done?
