How to make gnome-terminal show the size (rows/columns) during resizing?

This used to work. I just installed 23.04, and am using the default desktop environment (AFAIK gnome on Wayland).

Loss of this feature will make me go back to xfce because I work on projects which use a coding standard requiring max 80-column lines, and so it is essential to be able to easily set terminals to be exactly 80 columns to easily see over-long lines when using vim.

(The only reason I came back to gnome was that xfce does not support HiDPI displays very well and, reportedly, the latest ubuntu + gnome does)
