Thanks for your keen eye.

Yes, all the tabs share one session cookie or something. (Tangent: perhaps that is the inspiration for the practice described here:
Is United now serving half cookies in First Class? 
.)
If, in any particular tab, you click the 'update result' button, it will bring the focus back to that tab, so that any future information loaded will correspond to the flight it last displayed.
