The documentation for the flag doesn't clearly state that the flag only
enhances the output and the user needs to specify other flags to list
inactive domains, that are enhanced by this flag.

If I<--managed-save> is specified, then domains that have managed save
-state (only possible if they are in the B<shut off> state) will
-instead show as B<saved> in the listing. This flag is usable only with the
+state (only possible if they are in the B<shut off> state, so you need to
+specify I<--inactive> or I<--all> to actually list them) will instead
+show as B<saved> in the listing. This flag is usable only with the
default I<--table> output.
If I<--name> is specified, domain names are printed instead of the table
