zsh prompt line position not shifting with window resizing

I recently came across ZSH and found it very helpful for rails development and git integration. I've follow the setup steps and have my terminal ZSHed. But I found one little annoying thing this morning.

When I'm using zsh in the terminal, it looked fined at the start. Like this: enter image description here

but When I'm resizing the window and after it's done. The prompt line is not shifting when window is resizing so it gave me an odd look, like this! enter image description here

see the red box there? The prompt should be at the top of the window as it was, right? But it didn't, it went down when I'm resizing the window. This is odd...any hints why this is happning? Do I have to fix something in .zshrc?

Thanks a lot in advance!

BTW: I'm using latest Mac OSX. Maverick

So I also have this problem and I don't have a solution but here's one thing I have noticed. It's that this isn't a problem when using bash as your default shell. So I started to look into it. When bash runs it looks to /etc/profile and /etc/profile loads /etc/bashrc. When I looked in /etc/bashrc there was one line that seems like it might be related:

# Make bash check its window size after a process completes
shopt -s checkwinsize

I'm not sure if this is related or not but when I run that command in zsh I get:

zsh: command not found: shopt

Perhaps someone more familiar with bash/zsh/osx can make more sense of this.
