I can't tell how many lines are in the source window when no source
is displayed.  Please reproduce this with a source file.  Set line
numbering on.

If you have forced the size of the source window to 35 rows,
I expect that will constrain the split bar.

Please rename your ~/.ddd directory and reproduce this problem
with a default ~/.ddd directory.  You can restore your .ddd
directory afterwards.

I use a 4K monitor without problem.

Please describe your environment:  OS, version, graphics card, window 
environment.

Nope, not so far as I'm aware.
