### Bug description

The `height` parameter does not seem to be working as expected when using absolute positioning of images. For example, the following code generates two slides with images of the same size. 

```md
---
format:
  revealjs:
    incremental: false   
---

# Test

![](image.png){.absolute top=200 left=500 height="500"}

# Test

![](image.png){.absolute top=200 left=500 height="1000"}

```

Here are the properties of the image I'm using:

Here is the image itself (not sure if GitHub compresses it):

Apparently, the image stops being resized if the height value is above a certain threshold. Moreover, Changing the `width` parameter has different behavior than changing the `height`. I also noticed that the image automatically appears way smaller than when using something like `![](image.png){width=60% fig-align="center"}`.
