I'm on Ubuntu 15.04, and whenever I open a (GNOME) terminal window and try to resize, it always shrinks to 80x2. The same happens when I use the menu bar to choose dimensions.

Other program windows are not affected. And this behavior only happens when I use the "Ubuntu" session, and not the "Gnome (Default)" session.

If you have changed the theme, it could be the reason. See the following bug report:
Gnome-terminal in Ubuntu Unity shrinks to minimum size

If you are using the ambient theme (default), it would be good if you could update the bug report.

I had the same issue with zukimac theme, but not with ambient or arc.

To fix this, try opening the Appearance application (e.g. from System Settings) and change the Theme to "Ambiance".
