Which steps to search for a flight? (noob on kayak)

Any flight search seems to do it.

Just select Flights on the left hand side (if not selected already) and put in any random two cities and dates. When you press the magnifying glass to run the search you’ll now find you have two tabs, one for the flights and one for hotels at the destination.

This is what I’m seeing (from NZ).

Yes, that’s what I’m seeing as well. Instead of just getting the flight searches loading up, I end up with two tabs, one for the flights and another advertising hotels.

What I want is for it to just do the search in the original tab and show the flights as expected, rather than creating two tabs and pushing hotels at me in the pop under. It used to do it that way, the opening of new tabs is a new behaviour.

I’m getting the same in Chrome also, getting similar results here.
