This is a known issue upstream. In X11, the window manager (not the
terminal) is responsible for showing that tooltip. In Wayland, the app
(the terminal) should be responsible for it, but there's currently no
API for GTK+ (or possibly GDK) to communicate to gnome-terminal that the
window is still being resized, so the least bad implementation possible
would be a heuristic.
