Make gnome-terminal wrap lines like in OSX Terminal.app

I'm using GNOME and hence gnome-terminal, and there's a handy feature on Mac OSX's Terminal.app that I want gnome-terminal to do. Imagine a terminal 80 charecters wide. Any lines over 80 are wrapped onto the next line. One OSX's terminal if you then resize the window to (say) 100 charecters then all the lines are redrawn.…

I'm using GNOME and hence gnome-terminal, and there's a handy feature on Mac OSX's Terminal.app that I want gnome-terminal to do.

Imagine a terminal 80 charecters wide. Any lines over 80 are wrapped onto the next line. One OSX's terminal if you then resize the window to (say) 100 charecters then all the lines are redrawn. So the line wrapped at 80 now looks like it was wrapped at 100. On gnome-terminal when you resize, the lines stay the same and are still wrapped at 80 characters. Is there anyway to make gnome-terminal redraw all previous output when the window is resized?
