I don't often use the resize command and I'm not 100% this is a TDE issue.
I have konsole set to allow programs to resize the terminal.
When I do something like:
resize -s 25 80
it does resize the terminal, but it also waits for me to hit enter (or something) and then complains: resize: unknown character, exiting
This is not the behavior I normally encounter. Normally it resizes the terminal, and clearly sets columns and lines and exports them.
I have tried this in both bash and zsh.
This is on a box with Ubuntu 15.04 freshly installed (with just zsh and TDE added).
Hopefully someone can let me know how to make this behave normally.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I tried on my system (Debian Stretch + TDE r14.1.x) and I have the same behavior. A little of googling reveals that -s means "use Sun escape sequences instead of VT100" which in turns causes the error message to appear. The problem is at least 8 years old since I can find the same question dated back to 2007. Trying 'resize -s 25 80' followed by Ctrl+C seems to do the job, at least visually.
