I use stock bash / Konsole and I am really missing a good text reflow when changing the size of the window.

If some command prints a line which gets wrapped because it is too long then I wish I could un-wrap it by making the terminal window wider and forcing some sort of re-layout.

Yes, it would be nice if reflowing became more common. We are not sure if our spec requires the terminal to support reflowing (because of the resource usage implications), but the terminal must at least be able to announce whether it does reflowing (and/or word wrapping).
