[Evergreen-catalogers] Web client cataloging and "Completed copies" tab

[Tina Ji]

Yes, I see the same behavour.

"Save & Exit" saves all copies on both working and completed copies tabs.

"Save completed" on the dropdown list on Completed Copies tab saves  
those on Completed Copies tab only.

We are testing 3.1.
