bug: resize -s 80 25 made Terminal very unhappy in 4.18.

I keep forgetting the "resize -s" command wants "25 80" instead of "80
25", and when that happens I have to grab the top border and shrink it
and drag the window back up several times before I can see everything on
the screen again.
Fine, pilot error: but after I fix the height, the _width_ of the
terminal is screwed up and reports that it's narrower than it actually
is (when I drag to resize it). The problem is the width didn't actually
change, but THINKS it did, and it stops shrinking when it says it's at
width 4 but is still actually something like 40 wide. This borked state
persists until I close all the tabs in that terminal and close and
reopen the terminal window.
This only happens when I have multiple terminal tabs open, it works fine
on a terminal that isn't showing tabs. A terminal with no tabs actually
changes its width, a terminal with tabs doesn't change its width but
THINKS it did.

(I'm not sure if I reported this bug before, but it's still there after
a devuan version upgrade, so I thought I'd poke again...)
