Bug Description

Evergreen web client 3.2

While using copy buckets to clean up and/or merge records I chose two records to merge and selected one to be lead. I expected the lead record to move to the left and allow me to edit as needed. Instead, when I chose the lead record it immediately copied the record I wanted to merge it with. It happens infrequently, but I use this as a "batch" edit for quick editing and it could completely mess up other records if I don't catch it.

Example screen shots attached.

This was solved by "resetting" the Default Merge Profile (Z39.50 and Record Buckets) library setting for the affected libraries.

I'm not able to replicate this in 3.14-beta and given the comment above, I'm marking this won't fix.

Noting that current behavior will put the selected lead record in the left-most position, with non-lead records following to the right.
