There is a slightly complicated reason for this...

The gallery tag's height attribute doesn't have an effect in slideshow mode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Gallery_tag#Attributes_and_values

In edit mode, slideshow galleries are not displayed as slideshows (see T151471), so when the height attribute changes the new heights are actually displayed; however, in read mode slideshow galleries are rendered as slideshows, at which point the height is ignored.

It would be less confusing if the gallery dialog disabled height, width, etc in the modes that they don't apply to.
