I'm running Fedora 21 which comes with gnome 3.14. In older versions, when I resized a terminal, a little box would appear that showed the dimensions of the terminal (in columns and rows, not pixels; defaulting to 24x80). Now when I resize the terminal, this box doesn't appear. How do I re-enable this feature, or otherwise determine the number of rows and columns in my terminal?

1IIRC they removed the tooltip and then re-added it... works fine with gnome-terminal 3.14.2 but only when using the mouse to resize the window.don_crissti– don_crissti2015-02-18 14:20:36 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 14:20

@don_crissti, that's a shame. I've removed window decorations from my terminals and rely on a keyboard shortcut to resize them; I can't resize them with a mouse.drs– drs2015-02-18 14:23:13 +00:00Commented Feb 18, 2015 at 14:23

FWIW, it's fixed in 3.16 (works with both keyboard and mouse).don_crissti– don_crissti2015-05-10 23:58:49 +00:00Commented May 10, 2015 at 23:58

From some quick searching, it doesn't look like there is a way to get gnome to display the dimensions.
You can run these commands inside the terminal window to get the lines and columns respectively:
tput lines
tput cols
