#62 might be relevant to this issue. It's not merged yet, but changes autohide so that panels only hide when there are no windows on the same output
from cosmic-panel.
After consider the UX of this feature, we decided not to include an "intelli-hide" style option. With tiling, the dock is hidden when the first application is launched which removes the usefulness. In floating mode, users have to keep windows away from the dock for it to continue being revealed. We're not convinced of the quality of the option.

I use tiling mode all the time and the idea of having the option is that the panel looks really nice on the background when the desktop is empty. wilth the options with gaps and not to extend, well done btw great job, it just looks stunning.
But I understand the reason behind the decision.
keep the great work

Our version of an intelli-hide solution has been released.
from cosmic-panel.
In floating mode, users have to keep windows away from the dock for it to continue being revealed.
That's kind of the point of the mode. When windows are open but the user doesn't need that space, the dock is shown (to make launching & switching apps & workspaces easier, to display window count information, etc). When things get crowded enough that the user starts moving windows into that space, the dock gets out of the way.
Showing only on workspaces with no windows addresses the common usecase of launching an app or two on a fresh workspace, but it still seems pointlessly inconvenient on any workspace where windows are open but aren't covering the dock area (the space is just empty).
If window collision detection is too much right now, could we consider at least having a mode where the dock is auto-hidden when a window is maximized but not auto-hidden otherwise? That seems to be my most common use-case for wanting it to auto-hide. (We were considering making maximization essentially a full-screening feature earlier on in the design, which would have possibly accomplished this, but we've dropped that at this point.)
Edit: Maybe auto-hide if the workspace is tiled or if a window is maximized, otherwise show. I think tiling and maximizing are similar in that it's a case where you want to utilize maximum space.
