Do you have some real scenario where both values are necessary , and height is smaller than minHeight ?
I agree that it is more similar to css rules, when minHeight has a more high priority, but currently it works in a bit more simple way - if height (or width) defined, its value will be used regardless of minHeight (minWidth) and maxHeight (maxWidth) values.
if you want to have a fixed size - define a height. if you want to have a flexible size - define minHeight, maxHeight pair.
Currently the same can be done by setting minHeight and maxHeight values. Component will use maxHeight value as default one, and if it doesn’t fit will decrease the height, but not lesser than minHeight value.
