35 - is the number from the default init file on my system.
Deleted .ddd, and in the created init once more only 35
which never goes up, but it goes down if you are decreasing it by decreasin=
g the
vertical space for the source window.

I've tried to increase the rows for the source and decrease of the
console, respectively.

After running it, I do not see changes in source rows, and the number
set to init returns to 35.
Console window rows decreased have the effect and remain the same
decreased in the init.

So, unless you have any suggestions, I'm gonna build it from sources
to debug it and
see how it comes to the 35 rows only - it may be the result of some
buggy calculations.
