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 24×80). 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?

Method 1
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
