I'm setting to triaged anyway because the "generate script" generates lines with only "wget -c" and need to be fixed.
To reproduce:
- Filter by status / installed
- select _all_ packages
- right click and mark for reinstallation
- file / generate download script

result: the file is filed with lines containing only "wget -c" .
It's behaving correctly when you select only a few packages.

@pvs: to answer your question, to "save full state" go to "File -> Save Markings As ..." there is a check box labeled "save full state, no only changes" at the bottom of the dialog .
You'll probably be interested in bug 33065 to propose improvements to make this feature more visible.
