Somehow "ctrl+w, = " doesnt' automatically adjust the window size in vimdiff since sometime ago

On my ubuntu-20.04 machine while viewing two files with vimdiff, after I resize the terminal window, when I press 'ctrl-w' and '=' the divider line between the left and right windows of vimdiff re-adjusted to the resized terminal window to make them even in size. This worked for a long time. But recently, I found it doesn't work(I mean, the left/right windows size is not re-adjusted). I found if I press 'ctrl-Z' to come out to the shell and press 'fg', then it works again. I tried it in terminator window and normal terminal but it's same. Maybe I can reboot the computer but I don't want to do that for this. I can do away with it, but how can I make it work again(without pressing 'Z' and 'fg')?

Or Better yet, how can I use mouse to move the dividor line between the vimdiff windows? for example, this will be convenient when I compare 4 files at the same time.
ADD: I found I can do it with gvimdiff but I would be happy if can do it in normal terminal.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
