Mate terminal 1.28.1 -- Dimensions not displayed when resizing
This is a minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless, as I use a lot of terminals for work.
Previously (mate-terminal 1.27.1), when I resized terminals a little dialog box popped up showing me the current dimension of the terminal as I resize. After upgrading to 1.28.1, this feature seems to be missing; i.e. I have no indication of the terminal dimensions while resizing. Using the resize command to get this information is tedious and only shows you the size after you stop resizing.
Is there any way to get this functionality back? A couple of google searches yielded nothing.

Re: Mate terminal 1.28.1 -- Dimensions not displayed when resizing
If I use <Ctrl>-<Shift>-t to open an additional tab, the displaying terminal dimensions functionality works again, even if I subsequently close the additional tab. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now it's looking more like a bug. Will take it up with the Mate github unless someone has any suggestions.
EDIT: should note that this behavior is repeatable and consistent.

Not a fix for the TE but maybe your workflow:
printf "\x1B[8;25;80t"Offline

Nice! I had no idea you could do this. Thanks, and where do you even find tricks like this?

https://www.xfree86.org/4.5.0/ctlseqs.html - it's barely readable and not every TE will support all sequences.
But it gives you an idea and just googling for "ANSI escape sequence <stuff>" will often hand you a result
