Title:
  StateSaver should be enabled by default on relevant properties for all
  widgets

Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  StateSaver is an excellent addition to the UITK. However, making
  adding it a manual process removes almost all of the point of it,
  because we're requiring developers to go to extra effort to make their
  apps do something that all apps ought to do automatically. We want
  Ubuntu apps to provide a great user experience; remembering state is
  part of that, and should be done automatically rather than requiring
  it it be explicitly manually enabled. This helps to create a culture
  where Ubuntu apps Do The Right Thing and so apps which do not DTRT are
  the odd ones, rather than remembering state being an extra feature
  which only the best apps do. It improves the platform as a whole, and
  helps users expect that an Ubuntu app will be good rather than being
  pleasantly surprised when that happens. I suggest that StateSaver
  should be enabled on relevant properties for UITK widgets (scroll
  position for a ListView, content for a text entry, selected Tab for
  Tabs, etc) by default, and that that be a requirement for new widgets
  aded to the UITK.
