If I open a terminal and resize or maximize it (it won't happen if the size is decreased), commands won't properly wrap at the end of the increased width, but will instead return at the beginning of the same line after 80 characters.
Basically I get something like this:

The output of the command however occupies the whole window correctly; this happens only to what I'm writing (and it is completely inconsistent: it often happens, but not always).
This happens even with the default ~/.bashrc and /etc/bash.bashrc.
Is there something I can check or do?

I'm getting this too. It happens most of the time but not always. It's very similar to this problem except it happens even with PS1 set to the empty string. I use a tiling wm, so my windows are automatically sized larger than a fresh terminal would be normally. Looking at my pacman.log and the date of your post, I'm going to guess that if it's a gnome-terminal bug, it was introduced by 3.10.2.

I saw a news item relevant to this in the last few days: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … px=MTU0MDE

I know I posted this problem a long time ago, but, since I finally found a solution, I wanted to share it in case anyone else stumbles upon this.

Basically, if
$ shopt | grep checkwinsizereturns
checkwinsize offthen you need to set (for example by adding it to your .bashrc):
$ shopt -s checkwinsizeOffline
